I’ve just finished de-cruftifying Petroglyphs, inspired by Mark Pilgrim and based on the work of Már Örlyggson. To my view at least, all my URLs are cool and the weblog as a whole is non-application-specific. As with all changes of this sort, please let me know if anything appears broken.

The Great Blackout of ’03
Back at the turn of the twenty-first century there was a huge electrical blackout in North America. Some 50 million people in two countries lost power for an entire day, many for even longer.
I was one of those 50 million people. This is what it looked like from here.

Please be warned
For the safety of your soul, do not be tempted by the lure of impulse rock chip repair from strangers in parking lots. It may say free, but it could cost you your soul!
