Why, So Long As I Live, Neither I Nor Any of Mine Will Ever Purchase a Sony Product Again
[None of what follows is made up. None of it is even exaggerated for effect. I do hope that you’ll take note of this and, if you feel so inclined, reproduce this elsewhere. I’d be thrilled if this spread memetically … Continue reading

Stage 2, Complete
Whew again. Stage 2 of the migration is now complete. You’re looking at the new (and, one hopes, improved) Planned Obsolescence. Here’s what’s happened since the last update: Installed ExpressionEngine in new subdomain on new server. Futzed around with ExpressionEngine, … Continue reading
