We didn’t actually want to PAY to go into the gardens, which costs something like 16 euros and is perennially packed, so I didn’t know how much we were actually going to [...]

I do a lot of writing on request or off-the-cuff that I tend to forget about as soon as it goes live. I’ll try to post links to my random fits of guest blogging here, so check back for new stuff every once in a while!

I worked with Enigma Networks to bring clarity, accessibility, and style to their existing website through a complete content rewrite.
December 2008
Enigma Networks is a Canadian IT and IP solutions provider run by the often shockingly savvy Joseph Funari. The goal of this project was to develop fresh site content for these network-building professionals that was [...]

Narrative Visions of Apocalyptic Futures, Eschatological Humanism, and Kicking Post-Thinking to the Curb, for the Present
