Dear friends and occasional readers:
Although I mostly use Loaded Questions to post things of some tangential value to people in media, marketing, and design (things that make you go hmm), I have to apologize for the fact that I will not be updating it for the foreseeable future.
You see, I am taking three months off to write a book. And I’m currently in Mexico doing so.
The good news is, you can, and should follow my amazing progress at this other blog I’ve got set up called A Sharp Right. In fact, you may never come back here after you read it.
Sincerely,
Your buddy John
