Twittered To Death

To those who still check this blog occasionally, or might visit it by accident while cleaning up their bookmarks, know this:

Bored Athenians, after five and a half fairly chaotic years of brief commentary and shameless link-theft, is suspending operations due to all contributing authors being seduced away by Twitter, which far better suits our miniscule attention spans and need for immediate posting gratification.

You can find ongoing pedantry, punditry, and platitudes from your favorite Bored Athenians on Twitter at @evil_overload, @vennui, and @shenifonler.  Ennui can also be found combining sentences into coherent paragraphs and kicking other sorts of grammatical ass at http://pennoir.wordpress.com.  Read her words, and heed them well.  We’ll be watching.  The extensive archives will be left online for nostalgic perusal during times of boredom, rememberence, or Twitter outages.

Thanks, y’all, it’s been great!  The Blog is  dead, long live the Blog!

The real question for any post-mainstreaming-of-the-blogsphere blogger is this:  How do I continue to productively externalize my thought processes without being distracted by the public presentation aspect of this medium?

Huh. “Death as metaphysical stoppage” vs. “Death as Rebirth”

because gapingvoid is the XKCD of drawing cartoons on the back of business cards.

Four Questions

  • What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

  • If you could change or create one law, what would it be?

  • If you had 2 minutes to speak to the world population all at once, what would you say?

  • What would your ideal city be like?

After years of complaining about Blogger and planning a grand migration, we’ve finally done it.  Welcome to Bored Athenians 2.0!  Let the unqualified ontological metacommentary continue!
