As noted below, due to a glitch at Powerblogs (which seldom happens by the way) we were down for a day. But now we’re back to brighten your day!
Actually, today will be light blogging for TMV himself. The reason: he will be gone most of the day. But you may see a coblogger or two post some things (and TMV will try to put at least one post and some “pointer posts” on a timer to give you plenty of reading before he leaves). We should be totally back to normal tomorrow.
In the meantime, if you like this site, do tell your friends: we’re actually on a new server and it may be a few days before the various automated readers and aggregators that track this site pick it up again. We’ll be here for our readers who come to this site for the next few days but probably not for the other ones for a while.
