Welcome to the new Teeming Brain
The beast has slouched and the stars are right. Elder gods shudder in their ancient sleep. Ripples spread across the interwebs. The brain has landed. In short, welcome to the new Teeming Brain, also known as The Teeming Brain 2.0. As you’re already noticing from this page’s appearance if you’ve been a visitor at any…

I’m certainly making good on my previous claim, circa early September, that my foreseeable activity here at The Teeming Brain would be sporadic. At the moment I thought I’d drop in to mention that this downturn in blog…
