Humans Ape Dolphins

It's been two weeks since I've written anything here, and I won't try to tell you my life is too boring to write about, because it isn't. I haven't said a thing about riding bumper cars in Atlantic City with Teller, or going to Boston for a weekend to play games with long lost friends, or the bizarre job I've been doing on Bible trading cards, or the monsters I've been cranking out and giving away lately.

And it isn't that I've been "too busy" to write. Here's a free bullshit detector tip: People who are genuinely busy don't tell you they're busy. They tell you what they're doing, because they're parietal lobe-deep in the work, and that's all they have to talk about.

As usual, I've got a few half-formed ideas about faith and games and the ongoing process of becoming productive that I haven't bothered to write down. But I haven't written any of them down, so you won't see those here either.

Instead, I'm breaking my electronic silence to link to an article about humans learning to function with echolocation. It had never occurred to me that people would be capable of it. Huh.
