The CS [clandestine service] is the only part of the IC [intelligence community], indeed of the government, where hundreds of employees on a daily basis are directed to break extremely serious laws in countries around the world in the face of frequently sophisticated efforts by foreign governments to catch them. A safe estimate is that several hundred times every day (easily 100,000 times a year) DO [Directorate of Operations] officers engage in highly illegal activities (according to foreign law) that not only risk political embarrassment to the US but also endanger the freedom if not lives of the participating foreign nationals and, more than occasionally, of the clandestine officer himself.

The above quote has nothing to do with the purpose of this collection of hypertext documents.

It has been drawn to my attention that many people, specifically people who I keep up with, feel that you (I) are (am) not entirely real until you (I) exist on the internet – specifically, you (I) must post things for them to download and read. Regularly. This has proven a problem for me in many ways, not the least because I do not like maintaining a blog. If this is technically a blog.

Since I have been nothing but up on myself so far, I’m going to guess this is a blog.

Anyway, because I am real and feel the need to prove it, I am now renewing my effort to post one piece of personally generated creative content to this space per day (ish).

(If I don’t know you: Hello. I’m not sure why you’re here, but I’m sure you’re very nice.)
