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.
Dion quits
October 21, 2008
This happened yesterday, actually, but — for obvious reasons — I didn’t touch on it. But it’s worth mentioning now: Stehpane Dion has stepped down as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. He denied that his performance during the election campaign had anything to do with the crushing loss that his party suffered, but he did admit that, as the party leader, he had failed in his mandate.
So he’s out. He will stay on as interim leader until next May (probably), when the party will hold a leadership summit. Unless Bob Rae has his way, I guess.
However, I just couldn’t help but remember this little snippet from just prior to the election proper:
…Grit Leader Stephane Dion continued to hammer away at the Conservatives and worked to bring NDP and Green supporters into the Liberal fold.
“I will never quit. I will stay for my country,” said Dion during a sweep through Ontario Sunday.
…
According to The Canadian Press, when Dion was asked to respond to a Harper comment that both he and Dion would lose their jobs if they lose Tuesday’s election, Dion called Harper a “quitter.”
“Yeah, well, he’s a quitter. I’m not,” Dion said. “I will fight for my country. I love Canada.”
Quite, Mr. Dion. Indeed.
At any rate, I guess the “Stay Stephane Stay” logo has to come off of the sidebar now. Pity.
