Typepad RIP

Wow. Typepad is shutting down after 22 years. And they’re giving a whole month’s notice.

I remember, back when I was managing a corporate relationship with Six Apart, when they started telling us that they thought Typepad would be a better match for our blog publishing needs (we had a very large Movable Type installation, running dozens of successful business blogs.).

It really wasn’t. When I left, they were starting to project plan a move to WordPress.

I wonder what will happen to the blogs.com domain they own?

A little campfire cooking.

Skewered meat is being grilled in a blue pan over an open flame, accompanied by slices of flatbread.

Love, half a century old.

I wonder if the feelings lasted as long as the carving.

Carvings including initials and a date from 1975 are etched into a tree trunk in a wooded area.

Such an amiable chap, for a green man.

A green, carved face resembling a bearded man with a long nose is surrounded by colorful mosaic tiles and cobwebs.
