I've moved.

Maybe you noticed that you got redirected from my .Mac homepage to my Lucid Design domain. Well, my feed's changed too, so you might want to update if you're aggregating.

As part of my supreme laziness, I decided that I wanted to be able to blog from whatever machine, whenever, and ~ believe it or don't ~ Blogger actually makes it very easy to do that and host the pages yourself, rather than on their machine. It's free, and I'll still have the content where I can control it. This seems like a satisfactory arrangement, for now. I can even fiddle with the templates when I have the time and energy for it.

I'm still trying to decide whether to retain my .Mac subscription. At $99 a year, it's a dubious proposition. It is, however, convenient sometime, and the Backup and Sync features might be worth the cost of admission. If I do renew, I'll do it by buying the discount retail version ($79) through Amazon though.

Apple needs to do something really magic to have a persuasive value proposition with .Mac. Like calendars you can edit online. And good blogging software that creates a blog you can edit from anywhere...

[Update: I bought the Amazon retail version. Not quite ready to give up the .Mac goodies.]
