I’m going to try to remember everything now, ordinarily I like to take notes during a seminar but I forgot to last night. Maybe someone can fill in some of the blanks in my memory? If you add a comment, I’ll edit the … Continue reading
I’m just about getting around to doing some of the videos I’ve been threatening to do for quite a while.
