You can’t find the perfect title for a mystery project

June 13, 2016 By Tim Gray

Every so often I see a post: “Can you guys help me choose the best blog name/post title/domain name/book title/book cover?” Because I’m a helpful sort of person, and my skills often enable me to unlock this sort of thing, I sometimes try to engage with these.

Word Fu

October 16, 2012 By Tim Gray

I realised last night that I have something in common with my qigong teacher. Qigong is a Chinese system of movement to improve health. You can use a mental shorthand of “a bit like tai chi” if that helps (though of course there are reasons why it’s inaccurate, like tai chi being a martial art […]
