Names. Hmm. The problem with some names is that they have been used for one thing or another for so long that you get confused as to when you have been hearing about them recently. Anyway, to clear it up,… Continue Reading →
I know very little. No idea what Metasultra means. No idea what ‘girth metal’ could possibly mean beyond the variety of rude ideas I just came up with. No idea who started the argument between the two skeletons on the… Continue Reading →
