Late again. I should have said the column day would be Saturday, I suppose, but then events would no doubt conspire to move it to Sunday. Oh well. At least I’m keeping to within twenty hours or so of my commitment.

Welcome to 2006, everyone.
Man, it feels weird typing that. I saw them land on the moon in 1969 and I knew, I knew that by 2006 I’d be shuttling around in one of those George Jetson hovercars, probably on my way to work at my job in the first lunar colony. It sucks massively […]
