I took a break from the computer today — I’ve been juggling a bunch of projects of late, but one large one in particular has kept me working well into the wee-hours the last few nights. Happily, we passed the first hurdle on that one today (I think) so I felt like it was OK [...]
What do you give the person who needs nothing?

Technically we also have the three strings of multicoloured solar-powered lights [...]
