    Agitating for innovation through open licensing and good technology.

      Well, I finally decided to make a jump. Today I started blogging at Science Blogs.

      I really like the community here, and have stayed on longer than I thought I would in some ways. For the entirety of my time blogging here (much more intermittently than I had hoped) I have been needling NN folks about a better technical platform and Creative Commons licensing. And when I got a chance to blog at SB, given those two options, it was hard to say no.

      In the irony department, my desire for a better technical platform bit me on the butt in my first post – I failed to build my movable type templates quickly and the first comment on my first post made fun of my tech chops. A little different crowd from those here, methinks.

      I’m going to stick around as a member of NN and am going to get to a pub night in Boston soon…

          You chose exactly the wrong time to leave – Science Blogs has been acting up really badly over the last couple of days, refusing to post stuff – it’s sounding like they ported the server to a ZX81, with the 16k RAM pack (anyone else remember the RAM pack wobble?).

          Have fun, once it’s sorted.

          At least you’re not accusing me of membership in the People’s Front of Judea.

          John, we’re sad to see you leave but we wish you all the best in your new blogging home. Of course, we’ll still be following your blog no matter where it is.

          Splitters!

          But not as bad as the People’s Popular Front of Judaea.
