The Solid Wall of Writing — Mostly words. On purpose.

Where are we going?

Everything written for this site can be read in any order.

Read any article at random.

It’ll lead somewhere.

If it makes sense, keep going.
If it almost makes sense, keep going.
If it doesn’t make sense at all, you’re exactly where you should be.

If you want to get somewhere in a hurry…

Just take your time when you get there.
