I have delayed talking publicly about these projects for a long time because I kept thinking that at least one of them would reach a point where I could describe it in something other than generalities. I apologize for that delay. But now a year has passed since the last update and I've decided that it's cleaner and…

True. Just opening the blinds to get more natural light helps too, though. Not panaceas at all, just small things that make a big difference.
