For Day 100 of 2025, I have some updates on what I’ve been up to so far this year. Some news is poetic, and some is literary, with a bit of multimedia tech stuff to tie it all together.
You probably noticed that I stopped sending poems out as daily newsletters a while ago because I didn't want anyone to feel that I was spamming them with poetry, although there are worse things to be spammed with.

What's more amazing than the endless potential of dust? Everything in our world was once a cloud of dust in the cosmic wind.
