Each year, a general theme becomes apparent. This year, two showed their faces. Here they are.

  1. There is no baseline
  2. Unicorns are the new Hardcore

Baselines are arbitrary. They are like lines in the sand - they can be drawn anywhere and mean anything. These lines in the sand are also the beginning of my exploration with boundaries and segmentation.

As far as unicorns are concerned, don't think they spend their days prancing and preening. Nope. Unicorns are the new hardcore. I will explain later, but trust me on this.
