The dog ate my homework. And by dog I mean Squarespace and by homework I mean this newsletter. I always prepare These Traces on Wednesday mornings, the day before publication. But this week I got wrapped up in another project, then decided to write a post about gaming photography...long story short, I ended up working on my iPad late in the evening. The newsletter was 95% done but the blog block (that’s fun to say) refused to refresh, so I went back to the dashboard, loaded the draft again...and poof! Most of it was gone. A few seconds passed. Curse words rang out in the night. Many curse words. And then I thought "fuck it"—tomorrow is another day. All this to explain why the newsletter is later than usual. That is, unless I get bit by the same bug once I transfer these paragraphs to Squarespace and it never makes it out of the server. Fingers crossed. … As I imagine most of you did, I watched in utter terror the images of Beirut engulfed in that giant explosion. It's a scene that takes your breath away—apocalyptic in the truest sense of the word. And the aftermath—in an already deeply volatile context—is hard to fathom. My heart goes out to the people of Lebanon. Useless words I know...but sincere. No big editorial this week folks. Just some links to get us through the days.
