I've spent most of the morning at Caffe Espresso 1929, working on the uber-article from which the Berkshire Savant and Wired pieces spun off, and which will ultimately be its own publication. My wife gave me free Sunday mornings as a Christmas present, and the stars have finally aligned-- I'm here, rather than some other country-- in a way that lets me use them.
The article is currently up to 13,000 words, and will probably top 20,000 before I'm done, which raises a problem: it's getting to be too long to be a journal article, unless I can break up into a two-part piece, but it's not yet long enough to be a book. Getting lost between literary catgeories, and thus having the piece never come out anywhere, would be a shame. Ultimately, I'll have to spend some time figuring out how to make it publishable; for now, getting it shaped and written is the top priority.
