About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.

How did it smell?
Most animals that have a cyclopic mutation are stillborn, so it was lucky that kitten was alive at all. Read ‘Mutants’ by Armand-Marie LeRoi – it has a whole chapter on cyclopia.
It sort of looks photoshoppy though. Is it genuine? It looks like a little one-eyed monkey if anything.
It’s an AP photo on Yahoo News so I’m going with genuine, but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter – it’s still tragically cute…
