My tenth March Exercise will be a departure. Blog entries and updates to social networks will be temporarily suspended, as I concentrate all of my time on a few major studio objectives. I am required to stack one block of work on top of another in a way that does not allow for attention to routine public disclosures.<\/p>\n<p>Before I step away for the month, here are two collage starters on their way to <a href=\"http:\/\/collagist.org\/profile\/AllanBealy\" title=\"his ISACA profile\" target=\"_blank\">Allan Bealy<\/a> for completion.
