This will be my last post on New Dominion Project. Our annual hosting bill is due, and I can't justify the expense to host a blog that I no longer have the time to maintain frequently. We'll be pulling out an archive soon and I will probably host it somewhere.
I've been at this for a few years now, which makes me a veteran in the ever-changing world of new media. I've seen the Virginia political blog world grow from its infancy in 2005 to the chaotic juggernaut it is now. But as time has gone on, my daily updates slowly became weekly, and now fortnightly. I find myself with less time to write, and since this is a labor of love, when it stops being fun it's not worth doing anymore.
I started as a defiant kid who really, really wanted to run his own show and didn't like playing second fiddle anywhere--but I think I've outgrown that, mostly. I'd like to thank everyone who followed me through the years, from jeremiads at 750 Volts to photoblogging here. Truly, it's been great. Thanks to your loyalty and readership I've been able to go places I never would have gone. But like all good things, it must end.
I do not find myself with any less passion, though. I still believe as fervently in a progressive Virginia as much as I did when I started.
This is not my retirement from blogging, however, merely the end of running my own show. I'll be back at periodic and random intervals around the blogosphere, coming down from the mountain to cast a diary upon the world.
Trust me, you'll see me soon. |
