Christ Reveals Himself to Magdalene, Alec Goss
The way we interact with each other is modulated by technology. Letters and old photos are superseded by images, texts, reminders that Facebook's algorithm pushes at us. Exes and estranged friends surface themselves on LinkedIn. The dead haunt our inboxes. Also, some cool glitch tools!

Way's Notes
Hey! How goes it? Despite having a social weekend, I still managed to get some stuff done. One of those things I actually put into the world is a short blog post on why I gave up trying to figure out the meaning of life, if you're interested. Otherwise, other boring stuff like budgeting, figuring out nutrition, working out. I hope you did something exciting this week! If not, that's cool, too. A boring week is a boon sometimes. :)
