Zaadz Down, But Not I

Well, my primary blog account at Zaadz has been down for the last 24 hrs, need I give up on them and switch back to blogger? Here's hoping they can get things back up and running in a timely fashion.

In other news, I've been sick with the flu for the last four days, which I'd liken to an enforced meditation if only I wasn't spending the entirety of recovery time reading Neal Stephenson's The System of the World, book three of his ginormous Baroque Cycle. What does it mean to be in a book's grip so forcefully? I'd say it's akin to experiencing something of a flow state, where time/space are suspended a bit to have one's head kicked around and challenged by an entirely new worldspace. Or something.

Finally, watch this space soon, as I'm taking my graphic design practice to a new level, and will be using blogging as a key part of it all. Until then...
