Over a year after I posted it and expected it to blow up, the video Lisa and I made of Master Chief breakdancing is the second result on Yahoo’s video search for breakdancing, and is currently by far my biggest referral.

Dear gentle reader: this blog has been operating continuously since I was a teenager. The writing below is at least a decade old. In that time every molecule of my body has been replaced, along with many foolish ideas and flighty beliefs. I want to keep some of those things public out of an honesty and humility I owe the world. I trust you to carry that context with you.
