Farewell Robin Williams

by

Here’s a way to summarize Robin Williams.  Try and write a summary of his life, and career, and impact.  Where do you start?

You can’t.

The man defied easy classification or simple summaries.  He was so omnipresent it’s hard to imagine him gone.

That is a summary of his greatness.  That it is so hard to start describing.

Robin, thank you for everything.  Thank you for so many things.

 

Steve’s Update 8/11/2014

by

Hope everyone is doing well!  Here’s what I’ve been up to!

  • Updating the Writing Prompt Generator.  It’s now working pretty good, and I think I’ll probably take a break after awhile and declare it “done but willing to improve.”
  • More experiments on Seventh Sanctum’s Tumblr, so stay tuned . . .
  • Finished my latest article series at Muse Hack, Boost The Signal.  It’s a series on how we can spend time boosting the signal of good stuff.  Complaining, I think, may be built into the culture so it’s not effective.
  • Working on the Geek Catalog, my attempt to curate a list of ways geeks can get involved in good causes.
  • Cooking, and yes, I completely fell off of posting recipes.
  • Way With Worlds – I’m now on heroes and villains.

So as you can see, very busy.  What about you?
