We’re back from the holiday with another issue of Down the Pipes, a semi-private weblog about everything and nothing delivered to your inbox. To read this post you need to be subscribed and logged in, I’m sorry I don’t make the rules I just enforce them. As a reminder, subscription is required. If you know me personally or can’t afford a subscription, simply reply to one of my free preview emails after you subscribe to the free tier and I’ll comp your account forever.

This particular post may break your brain a bit, hopefully in a good way but I take no responsibility for any psychotic breaks that develop from reading the following post. Ready? Let’s get down.
