After more than thirteen years on Typepad (and several before that on the infant Blogger) the time has finally come to move over to a different blogging platform. Go here for an uninterrupted service... unpopular-culture.com now points to the Wordpress site and not here incidentally, so if you used that as a shortcut you'll just think 'oh, it looks different' and hopefully just shrug and keep visiting rather than firing off messages that say "It's changed! It looks different! I am old and curmudgeonly and cannot handle this kind of thing!" To which I reply that you have my sympathy but them's the breaks, dude.
