Introduction	I am a designer for print and web, a skilled writer and copyeditor, and available for commissions of illustrations and paintings. I've been blogging under various pseudonyms for over a decade. This retired blog features a mix of reviews, feature stories, tech articles, memoir and atmosphere pieces from 2005-2009. My current website showcases my personal and professional artistic output, as well as the full archives of this blog and more recent entries. The title for this blog comes from an essay ("Charleston: Jede Zeit hat den Tanz, den sie verdient") by Katharina Rathaus in The Weimar Republic Sourcebook.
