we just won't be defeated

My latest post is a counterpart, of sorts, to the long-standing spite list.

Oh, look.  Another new post over on my new blog where the new content shows up.  This one was kind of unexpected.  But not unwelcome.

(just like) starting over

I neglected to mention a few weeks ago that my triumphant return to blogging would occur elsewhere.  Please visit www.hotrodtothe.com for today's re-introductory post.

blogging hiatus

Maybe this is a bad strategy, but now that I have everything from Vox backed up this seems like a good time to take a short break from blogging.  And not a break like last April, when I half-heartedly posted every four or five days because of a sense of obligation.  I'm talking about a real break.  According to Wordpress, I generated 1,097 posts since June 2006.  Those posts were tagged with 1,052 unique tags and generated 8,679 comments.  I'd say that merits a few weeks off.  But don't worry - any of you who are still out there - I'll be back before the end of September, just in time to ramp up before the annual Rocktober festivities.

goodbye, farewell, and amen

Let's face it - we all saw this coming.  In the least surprising news of the day, Vox has announced that it's closing up shop as of the end of the month.  Fortunately I've had a contingency plan in the works for a while (read: about a year) now.  I've already been backing up my blog periodically through Wordpress because I wasn't confident that Vox would give us even a month's warning.  My ultimate goal is to migrate four and a half years of gibberish and fart jokes onto a private domain.  But for the time being, I'll be setting up shop at http://absolutehotrod.typepad.com/.  It's easy, and it means I don't have to deal with transferring all the picture and songs and videos I've posted to another host just yet.

I'll be honest - I'm going to miss Vox.  It was extremely handy to have a one-stop-link for my friends and some people I didn't know who later became friends.  One link is easy to manage; a bunch of different links to blogs can get lost in the shuffle.  I'm secretly a big softie, so I sincerely hope the past four-plus years have meant as much to you as they have to me and that you will still find the time to visit me occasionally.  I'll be at typepad for now, and I'll let you know wherever I end up from there.  This will be my last post on Vox, and it makes me sad.

i'll be your server this evening.
