happy birthday.
in fact, thinking about it, i missed the first anniversary aswell; i'm a terrible terrible father.
it's been a sporadic pleasure building this site up and anyone who's a regular will realise that i've been inconsistent of late with posts. last week, following 2 years of blogging, i moved into an office soon after realising that writing fulltime from home requires something the experts call 'willpower' - something i have a severe deficiency in - and already i feel like a professional. the upshot will be more posts inbetween the other shit i do.
check out the archives and marvel at the crap i used to post. seriously, some of it makes me taste vomit at the top of my throat. it's like watching yourself on camera. i'd also just like to take this opportunity to apologise for my inability to reply to emails. it's nothing personal. i'm the same with text messages. and with vocal communications. i can blank people like no other. i'm just plain rude.
now, what better way to belatedly celebrate a birthday than with a photo from 1957 of an airship, crippled by the shockwave from a 19-kt blast 5 miles away. click on it for a gigantic, 3.5mb version. more info here.
