I cannot tell you how much I love this game, which can result in absurdly high scores due to rainbow squares.

In today’s historical breaking news, the Wright Brothers were apparently printers—building their own press from scratch—before becoming flyers.

All quotes you get from Chinese printers tell you that you have to clear the censor. Not just political: sometimes it’s about depictions of violence, inclusion of LGBTQIA themes, references to certain kinds of technology. I don’t print my books in China, reason 3 of many.

With books received in the last week or so, this photo shows my client work since 2023: Shift Happens (editor, production, logistics), Our Long National Nightmare (layout, production, logistics), Go Computer Now! (editor, crowdfunding), and Joe Vs Elan (print and production consultant).

I am indeed available for editing, crowdfunding consulting, production and logistics, and all points in between: https://glog.glennf.com/editing-services
