When a part-time "bookseller"/part-time Private Investigator teased me from the across our shared register area years ago, I sighed: "Yes, I am a 'hunt-and-peck-er'". He didn't skip a beat, and informed me "I could tell just by lookin' you're a-huntin' pecker!". I don't miss that job.

We set out to publish 100 stories and sell 100 items, and now we've done it. Or we will have done the latter, I guess, once this auction closes next Friday. It's been an amazing experiment. I'm glad we're (tentatively) planning to launch a second iteration later this month... It's great that the experiment is over, but I'm not ready to say farewell to the Significant Objects project just yet. I can’t believe it!
