The week in screenshots, sort of
It was with great relief that I learned about the outcome of the Palinode’s back surgery. He’s one of my favorite web-writers, so I have a vested interest in his posture and comfort. Before learning that he’d snapped up a last-minute surgery spot, I was alarmed to see this Palinode Not Found screen:
Wishing you a speedy recovery from being cut open and fixed, Palinode!
I can’t remember how I came to be in a situation that caused me to see this, but I do recall that what led me capture it forever was the same crackle of cognitive dissonance that brought out Erik’s comment on it in our Flickr stream:

Talk about a buzz kill. I was in stitches over the final screen shots, and then had to read misanthrope man’s Attitudinal Angst. He’s a good writer though. I liked his promotion article.
