Earlier, I had a collection called Dave’s Ramblings which had turned into something of a mess. I’m basically recreating the same sort of thing here, but these essays are often designed to be linked to as a footnote or sidebar from other things I’m writing. They’re all collected in one place so they’re easier to find, and if you’re morbidly curious, you can read these out of the larger context I wrote them in. They’re mostly sorted most-recent first.
Then again, in some cases, there isn’t any larger context.
Enjoy!
