What is a studio?
April 4th, 2008 · 4 Comments
I recently had dinner with a fellow blogger, and he asked me: Why a studio?

We’re finally ensconced at our new site: www.granitestudio.org. I think. The old site is still up and I’ll keep it there for a couple of months so that any links still going to the old site are not dropped.
I’ve also updated all the relevant feeds and whatnot.
The main feed can be found at: http://granitestudio.org/feed/
