“May you live in interesting times.”
This year has proved, without doubt, that the ancient Chinese curse
is ripe for an update. As we exit a year that has left its mark on everyone,
let's pause to reflect on how we can adapt
in a world where change beyond the exponential is unavoidable.

So I wish you moments of visual delight--today and throughout the New Year!

Stay tuned for the announcement of the
