I’ve Moved!

November 20, 2008

So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:

I AM NO LONGER BLOGGING HERE

In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here.

That said, this is not the end of . My wife has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.

Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.

Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.

It always amazes me, and often alarms me, what one can find when cruising this great big Web of ours in the late hours of the evening. Most of the Canadian bloggers seem to be in bed now, which is sensible — as an n, I’m at least one (if not two or more) hours behind most of the really good bloggers, who are all central-east in location. And while the B.C. bloggers might still be awake and cruising, I don’t read many blogs out of B.C., so I couldn’t tell you if that was the case.

You know, I’ve struggled with whether I support the U.S. invasions in and , and even now I haven’t come to a clear determination as to what I believe. But every so often, even in these conflicts, a funny anecdote crops up.

Sometimes you have to dig for them. Tonight it was easy. From the website of Red Vs. Blue, the -based web cartoon series:

Any movie producer will tell you that foreign distribution is key to the success of any project these days. And Red vs Blue is no exception — but our markets are a little different than most. In terms of shipments overseas, is number one, is second and running a very close third are Iraq & Afghanistan, thanks to all the men and women that are serving over there. That’s right. Apparently, nothing says “newfound democracy” better than a Red vs Blue Season 3 DVD.

This has had me in stitches on an otherwise rather sad evening. I suppose the next thing we’ll hear is of Strong Bad being used at Gitmo?
