I’m sorry I’ve been neglect­ing you. It’s not because I don’t care; in fact, I think about you more than once every sin­gle day. You’re much busier now than last year, and with so much going on I’m wor­ried that you’re going to for­get about me. So here’s a tid­bit: it’s the Library of Con­gress Flickr stream, though I can’t take credit for dis­cov­er­ing it. Bryan Schut­maat left it for me in a com­ment this morn­ing. Some­times he sends me things to put up on account of he doesn’t have a blog.  Any­way, the stream it’s full of fan­tas­tic pho­tographs includ­ing mind-​​blowing color images from the home front dur­ing World War II. So take a look at that. Bryan said look­ing at them was the best part of his day. That rang true for me too. And I had a pretty good day.

In other news,  I’ll be post­ing to Gawker this com­ing Sat­ur­day and Sun­day. Come by and take a look if you have a minute.
