The web devours voraciously. Especially time. It eats time. Every day, millions of hours, consumed and stored inside its bloated maggot stomach. Some day the web-maggot will spew all those lifetimes, those endless oceans of time, out through its infinitely expanding anus, creating a wave that will wash across the universe like a Biblical flood, reverting everything to absolute zero, the beginning, the end...

Or maybe I just ought to spend less time online. It begins with honest research and it ends, bleary-eyed, with www.screenhead.com. At least TV was an honest time-eater. You plonked yourself down on the couch, you didn't pretend you'd be working. I sit down with my coffee in the morning, boot up my PowerBook and Word, and five minutes later I'm neck deep in Ain't-It-Cool-News getting annoyed with Talkbackers and trying to remember why there's an empty Word document running in the background.

Phew.

Project #2 is kicking into high gear again, after a relatively quiet period. There's still loads of work left on Dreamfall, but there's life after next autumn (and not just the third - and likely final - chapter in the TLJ saga). You know it as 'NBT', I know it as 'TSW', but come E3 all will be revealed. Maybe. It all depends on how fast things happen between now and May, but I remain cautiously optimistic. More on that in the months to come.  ¶ 21:02
