I’ve been missing in action for a while, but at least I have a worthy update this time. It’s been almost a month and a half since my birthday, and ordinarily you would expect photos in the gallery within days.

However, I had much more elaborate plans for this birthday; this year is especially important seeing as how it marks a quarter century. I dreamed up the idea of having this website with all the photos and maybe some narrative. I eventually gave up on the narrative part, as I think the photos tell the story just fine (don’t they always?).

So here it is: twentyoneplusfour.com.

It’s plain, but has got a bit of lightbox goodness sprinkled in with some other AJAX. Unfortunately, I never learned AJAX, so I had to rely on existing libraries. Also, if there’s already an existing solution, why go to the trouble of making your own?
