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.
Good point

It’s tragic that hundreds of ducks have been killed because of improper measures taken by Syncrude to implement measures to prevent the avians from landing in a tailings pond near Fort McMurray, Alberta.
At the same time, Kate raises a valid point:
Got to hand it to those environmentalists - they have the media well trained. A few hundred ducks expire in a Syncrude tailings pond and it’s international news. The tens of thousands sliced and diced each year (in the US alone) by wind generators? Not so much.
It’s sad how so much of almost everything these days is not driven by any kind of objectivity, but by narrative alone. And don’t get me wrong, narrative is all well and good…if one is writing fiction. When one is attempting to convey the news or discuss real-world issues, though? Not so much.
