Since I don't get the warm-and-fuzzies at the thought of Google having ultimate control over whether or not you should be allowed to read this blog, our real blog is now here. This blog will no longer be updated. I'm am more than happy, however, to let Blogspot act as an archive.

For those with similar concerns about "Big Google" and the potential for your blog to disappear down the memory hole, the new blog is a WordPress blog. WordPress is a php and MySQL based blog that's run on your site's host computer. I'm finding that most hosting services offer it as an option. (It's cheap for them to do so as WordPress, php, and MySQL are all open source programs that they can use for free and modify as they wish to souit their system requirements.) The files, including the database, are stored on the host where you can get at them; not tucked away on a Google server farm.
