Why is this post so short? I have two reasons for you.

1. I’m going to be away the week of Thanksgiving, and am looking to manufacture enough backlog to keep you sated past that time.

2. For my birthday, my wife gave me a cryptex. It took me quite some time to work out that it was a joke (the last ring spelled out ‘joking’), and before I got there, I had already written down everything in my notebook. I came across that page when I was writing the bit that airs today.

In other news, awesome nonprofit Let’s Encrypt is now providing certificates for Many Words, so you can access the main site (but not the Fish Bowl just yet) over HTTPS.
