special thanks

everyone who submits transmissions. you are why the log keeps breathing.
L., who told me to archive things instead of arguing about them. correct, annoyingly.
D., for the recording equipment. the equipment is fine. no further comment.
A., who is not involved with this site at all and would like everyone to know that.

where they are // 2026

people ask what became of the three of us, so, once, in writing: lumen is a dad now, and a successful lawyer — an actual office, actual briefs — which tracks completely. he spent years keeping the rest of us alive on four hours of sleep; parenthood was always going to be a lateral move for him. also he was a huge ace attorney fan back then. played the first game so many times that even i lost count, and i keep count of everything — it's the whole personality of this website. people assume the lawyer thing was a coincidence. nobody "objection!"s their way through phoenix wright four hundred times by accident. and tess. the d. from the list above, if anyone ever wondered. she transitioned, and i use her name, because whatever else is true a person's name belongs to them. i keep tabs on her the way you check the weather in a city you will never visit again: occasionally, from a distance, out of habit, with absolutely no plan to call. some pages stay open in the archive even when you never intend to read them. she knows which one she is. that is everything i can file under this heading. everyone's still alive — which, given this particular friend group, is the award nobody thought to hand out.

two footnotes before i close the drawer. a.: the special-thanks list claims you are not involved with this site. that claim has aged badly and i am leaving it up as evidence against me — wherever, or whenever, you ended up, the door here does not lock from my side, and june 15th stays marked on nothing in particular. and to the other l., who is not listed and never asked to be: there is now a second shoebox. i will not be spelling out on a public page why the first one stopped being big enough.

lost signals

i found this sitting at the bottom of an old draft during the big 2007 redesign — back when this site got rebuilt every few months whether it needed it or not. i don't remember saving it. it has moved house with every version of this page since, including this one. filed here so i stop losing it.
