It has been far too long since the last post on this blog. Largely due to other aspects of Per and my lives, the updates have slipped by the wayside. In an attempt to revitalize the use of this space, we have made a decision to change it’s direction slightly.
I will be taking a course on speculative design in which one required element is blog posts.
