If you’re following me on Twitter, you’ll know that I’m at TED in Long Beach right now, and that it’s not likely that I’ll get out three more blog posts before the month is up. That, however (as well as the title to my last post), got me thinking about months. In the Universe of… Continue reading InundaTED

February
It’s now February 20th, and this is the first Dothraki post of the month. Given that it’s a short month, this may very well be the last, as well.

They came from Etsy… Continue reading Azho Anni Ha Yeraan
Akat Dalen Senthi!
I was getting real tired of pulling up this blog and seeing a picture of me, so…new post! Happy New Year! For those who have been following this blog for a year, you may remember the resolution I made around this time last year. At the time, Dothraki had about 3,300 words, and I said… Continue reading Akat Dalen Senthi!
