Today is the day that much of the internet is going dark to protest the SOPA/PIPA acts in the United States.

I wrote a little piece on it for Acceler8or, and I’ve blacked out my logo for the day.

Please, take a moment to register your displeasure with legislators.  Don’t break the internet.

No, I haven’t gone anywhere.  I’ve just been letting my poor site languish without adequate attention for lo these many moons now.  I’ll try to to do better in 2012.

Some recent highlights:

• I moved to a new place, still in the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago.  This is a Really Good Thing, since now I have enough room for real furniture, an office and workspace, and all my books and stuff.  Will it lead to an uptick in creative output?  Signs point to yes!
• I really, really want to tell you about Project R, a little thing I was working on last year.  I’ve got a bunch of pictures, and a writeup started, but unfortunately, I can’t post it yet, since some aspects are still “sensitive”.  But!  It was a very cool project, and I learned a lot from it.
• Acceler8or is going swimmingly!
• Do you follow @horror_bot on Twitter?  Check out the totally automated blog that the ‘bot is keeping right over here!
• Are you using Google+ to social-media-ize?  Why not circle me up?
• And really, if you’re interested in keeping up with the minutia of my day-to-day existence, there’s no better source (at the moment) than my Facebook page.

Onwards and upwards!
