'tis I, The Author. 

I'm sorry about all this. You have no idea how sorry until you, too, have marinated your laptop in a backpack full of water while absent-mindedly wandering a grocery store after a particularly strenuous day at work.

Until, too, you have been stymied in your attempts to resuscitate said computer and finally have to give it up, hard drive (THANKFULLY) the only surviving remnant, the still-beating yet bodiless heart of what was once a magnificent machine.

It breaks my heart that bb//rd should suffer in this way, but rest assured, it will make a reappearance. In the meantime, many other projects ferment and will be available once they've reached peak potency. Fine cask creativity, always served at room temp.

Give your spirit creature an extra tight hug tonight.
