 Welcome to my TED talk. I see you all piled into your seats, trying to hold in rude comments like farts, and suddenly you remember something you forgot to do, right? Oven's on, left your wife and kids at the airport, haven't eaten a vegetable since the Berlin Wall - big or small, there's something out there you didn't deliver on. You promised yourself or someone else an end to the task, but life got in the way. You are every bit as bad as UPS was to me this month.  Delivering on what you say you can/will do is a very corporate-coded concept that doesn't get the credit it deserves in day-to-day life. Not even touching on the moral purity one can feel not letting white lies speckle a nice blackened heart, it's just nice knowing that the thing mention is a thing done. When you're working for yourself, and are therefore accountable only to yourself, that takes an anxiety-riddled mistake of a life decision and turns it into...well, all that plus progress towards your ultimate goal. All that is to preamble a great chunk of work done this month on a great many fronts that ultimately amount to grains of sand on some sandy cheeks. To be clear, whole grains of sand are HUGE when you're on the Giant Planet, taking odd jobs just to get by until you can save up to buy Mary Jane that bottle of pills she's always asking for. Honing in on Project Cube, this month was full of that good-old cement groundwork laying. For Taco Terror, I resigned to spear through one aspect at a time - 'Today is Options Page Day!' - whereas Project Cube has enough moving parts that rely on one another that all the plumbing should be put in before we start adding fountains. So nothing is straight-up done, but many pieces are started and about 85% of the primary school stuff is ready to ride.  Elsewhere on the walkway of projects, Panoramic just launched episode 13, which is lucky, I hear! Writing for that series has wrapped, including re-writes, and I'm moving on to another series, which will hopefully be started soon. I've written the first draft of that first episode, but it's so far away from starting there's no point in talking about that yet.
Forget everything. I wish I could say there were more projects that saw real progress this month - oh wait! Taco Terror did get a nice big update with a new game, some polish, and some rad new music. Check that out if ya please. Life is nice and derailing sometimes, and that's a very healthy thing. The alternative isn't worth it, and that, everyone, is why delivering candy canes in summer is the greatest business idea ever. Thank you for attending my TED Talk.
