There Is Nothing New...

... under the sun.

As demonstrated by this oddly beautiful blog thread.

Still straining under the weight of actual paid work. But plan to return to Lord Tunley shenanigans soon.

While I struggle with new depths of geeky spoddery and work-for-hire bore-athons feast your eyes on this bit of mental brilliance (from Paul O'Connell)
