An adventure begins…

Dear friends and fellow hyperbrains, it’s time for an announcement. The blog has been silent for some months. I went silent because I really needed a break and some time for reflection. I needed to consider where I was heading with my life. I felt stuck, stagnated, in need of a major change. [...]
