Closing up shop
After nearly three years of postings on two different servers, Axxlog, the Media Access Weblog with the Vaguely Risible Name, closes up shop.
But, my opponents and detractors, wait! The news isn’t all good.
I’m simply switching everything over to my personal Weblog. I had originally separated the two Weblogs because I wanted to maintain the illusion of some professional/personal distinction. Really, that boiled down to “On my personal Weblog, I can be as gay as I want and I can swear as much as I want.”
After one contretemps too many with genteel homophobes in the broadcasting industry, I simply give up. And as for swearing, I’ve managed to do it onstage twice in the last year and it hasn’t hurt me any, so really, [expletive] ’em if they can’t take a Joe. Whether you’re reading me or hiring me, you’re getting the whole package. And no, I won’t make a pass at somebody in your office or run through George Carlin’s list of cusswords while I’m there. Give me some credit.
In addition, the name Axxlog has simply become too risible.

But the news just keeps getting better!
If you have an RSS reader – and really, who doesn’t? – you can subscribe to posts from the personal Weblog on accessibility-related topics and never see anything else. As far as you’ll be concerned, I’m a happily-married Mormon who thinks Mickey Mouse is a racy and unhealthful influence for his many blond children.

Thanks, Matt!
I express my gratitude to Matt Müllenweg for hosting Axxlog in its hour of need. Since cool URLs don’t change, all the links you have come to know and love over the last three years will continue to work indefinitely.
