A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Aww, crap!

This heat wave (among other things) has blown the power supply in my main laptop that has all of my BME and ModBlog stuff on it (don’t worry, I’ve condfirmed everything is safe). I’ll replace it tomorrow morning in some way, but until then I’m basically offline… Thus I apologize for the lack of the promised BME and ModBlog updates!

    Jon let me steal a piece from his computer, and I’m headed out now to find a real replacement. We managed to get BME updated last night, and there’ll be more here and elsewhere tomorrow.
