  • • Changed “Progress Report” to “What’s New” (fewer and less verbose updates).• Added a page on the Nike-Hercules, an anti-Soviet-bomber missile with bases all over the Unted States.

  • Genie is up and live on the site. Selected and photoshopped the images yesterday, did the Further Reading late last night when I couldn’t sleep, the NukeMap and essay during the day today at the coffee shop (my office away from home), finishing up with the captions just before 1:00 am. I’m hoping to get…

  • Regulus is up! I thought I had had finished it around dinnertime but then it hit me later on that I forgotten to do the image captions. So now it really is done. While preparing the captions I also realized that I had made (and saved) images of the Loon, the predecessor of the Regulus,…

  • Regulus is almost done. I selected and photoshopped the images yesterday, wrote the Further Reading section earlier today, and woke up at 2:00 am and finished the video section. I have a partial essay (and I think a complete idea) so I hope to have Regulus done tomorrow and be well on my way on…

  • Atomic Annie is up! Finished the video section, the essay and then the captions–I’m working at 1:00 am so this is all still February 13th. I think my last weapon for the “Build Up” section is the Regulus. I need to double-check that. There are a few more gun-type uranium weapons out there but they…

  • Working on the Atomic Annie page. Selected and photoshopped images and loaded them into WordPress. Created NukeMap image and link. Completed the stats section and the “Further Reading” section, as well (lots of good links). I still have to finish the video section (will be easy), the captions (will sort of be easy), and the…

  • Near midnight. Finished photoshopping the images and polishing the essay. Honest John is up! This was a tough one. Most of the weapons pages are taking 8-10 hours to produce–this one took 16-20, mostly because of the large number of photographs that I made on the road (which I then had to cull through) and…

  • Finished culling and photoshopping all images–there are a lot of images for the Honest John, maybe two dozen. Uploaded to page. Finished stats section and NukeMap image and link. Just need to polish the essay now.

  • Rewrote intro text on Home page to make the site more inviting, less ponderous. Adjust spacing between blocks on Home page. Should look about right now. Added the Further Reading section for the Honest John. Also, another hour or two trying to cull down my collection of Honest John images. There are more Honest Johns…

  • Corrected a few typos and added the “Recent Updates” section at the bottom of the Home page. Additional work on the Honest John page. Corrected a few typos and preparing to go back and copyedit all text once I post Honest John. Also exploring interactive map plug-ins to display nuclear weapons locations.
