Unfortunately, I have had to close the Not A Blog™. This is something I've been considering for some time—pulling everything down, starting over fresh with something new. I was still trying to decide whether or not to leave the original online as an archive, when I discovered my Wordpress install got hit with a nasty virus which proved almost impossible to fix. I didn't bother, just nuked the whole thing.

I'm not annoyed or otherwise distraught about this. It just means the decision was made for me. I almost appreciate it, really, because left to my own devices, I probably would have continued to do nothing at all. I've already done that for far too long. Someone told me blogs have a life span of about five years, and I think I'm inclined to agree with them. The NaB died a bit prematurely, I believe, due to various factors, but there were certainly plenty of older posts which, even if I had kept the archive online, I likely would have pulled anyway. I backed it all up for myself—and I'm sure Google's cache will hang on to it for a while, as well. But for now, it's gone.

For those of you interested in continuing to follow my endeavors, I've started a new blog called Birdbrain. This is the blog part of a larger artistic effort of mine which I hope to stand up in 2011. For now, the blog is online, and can be accessed at blog.redfeather-art.com.

Thanks for your readership and support over the years. I had a great time with the Not A Blog™, and I hope you enjoyed reading it, too. Now I'm moving on to new projects and goals. Feel free to join me.
