Well, the end of 2008 is upon us, and to everyone who’s read, pinged, trackbacked, commented, Alt-F4ed-in-disgust, thanks for reading and all the best for 2009.
Just to let you all know that I’m starting a personal blog elsewhere, back at gavreilly.com, where more substantial material will show its face on a hopefully more regular basis. I’m putting it elsewhere because the material’s going to be of a different dynamic than the stuff that goes here, and I think that people shouldn’t have to have content thrust upon them in an RSS inbox or whatever, without choosing to take it in the first place (plug plug plug! RSS feed here!).
Fear not, though; EDiED won’t go anywhere, and we’ll still have the random links, silly thoughts, baffling pictures and general domestic disgustingness that you’ve all come to know and love tolerate.

Yup, I’m a geek. That’s a Rubik’s Cube, but with seven pieces on each edge instead of three.

Now, you might have guessed from the header image at the top of the blog that I was a bit of a Rubik’s geek, but nothing is going to prepare me for this thing.
