One thing we did when we redesigned the podcast site was to change hosting from Dreamhost to Westhost. Prior to that, this blog and the podcast site were hosted on the same account.
My hosting for this blog expires in October, and I’m not planning to renew it. I think it’s had a good run, and it’s time to move on. Some days I really enjoy writing it, and some days I feel like I do it compulsively. And that’s just weird.
It often feels constraining lately. I’ve built up an expectation that I am going to write about politics (see: the title, for one thing). When I started it in 2004, that’s what I was most interested in, so that made sense. Now, not so much.
So, if there’s anything you want to save from here for yourself, you should go ahead and do that. I plan to save everything, but I don’t know if or when I’ll make it publicly accessible once it goes down. I’m also not sure when exactly I’ll take it down.
I have several “what next” ideas I’m kicking around, but I haven’t committed to anything yet. If you have an idea for a project, pitch it here or email it to me. In the meantime, I’m planning to make more podcasts.
And I’ll still be on Twitter. And Facebook. And Myspace. And Flickr. And leaving comments on other blogs. And drinking at Manuel’s. And… and…
I’ve been thinking recently to do the same. Heck, I’m hardly writing on my blog lately, anyway.
Maybe we could collaborate and do a Becker-Posner-style blog.
… like I have that much to write every day.
Wow, when I first read that, I thought it said Pecker-Bosner. I thought, “which one of us is going to be Pecker?”
Wow, historic. Keep us posted about your plans.
Aww, that makes me kind of sad - but I can’t say that I don’t understand. Good luck with your next project, whatever it is.
Jesus, Joe, that blog is intense. I needed something to coast me into slumberland and I just found it in the words of those two sages.
Say it ain’t so, Russell Tanton?
First it was “my pit stop on the information superhighway.”
Then, it was “Yarrr Tis’ Me Blog.”
And now, the end of “Radical Georgia Moderate.”
I certainly understand your reasons. But selfishly, I want to keep reading your musings on the issues of the day - be they on politics, college football, etc.
Anyway, it’ll be a sad day when the moderate’s blog no longer exists.
As soon as college football starts, he’ll be back.
Book it.
This is a bunch of crap. Where am I supposed to get all my University of Georgia football news now?
Now where am I going to go to beat SEC football fans at their own picks game while hopped up on goofballs?
