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:
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 Time Immortal. My wife Grace 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.

As Grace and I walked back to our hotel from the Roman Agora, we passed down many streets not unlike this one (although this was the only one I thought to take a picture of). Many of the streets in Plaka (that’s a touristy district in central Athens) are approximately this narrow, and yet one sees cars whipping along them with what could almost be termed reckless abandon. The sidewalks are hardly a place to feel completely safe from traffic.

This was a good walk overall, a fine end to another day of touring. If memory serves, we stopped at a little jewelry store called Plaka’s Agora, where we bought a nice pair of earrings for Grace that feature an ancient Greek symbol for eternity. We also bought a couple of icons while we were there — let’s face it, the Greeks do beautiful icons.
But back to the image for a moment. It’s a fairly straightforward shot, and all I really did edit-wise was clean up some chromatic aberration.
