I mean Google was screwing around with his blog. I know I clicked on the link and they told me it was gone. But he was back up and running before you knew it.
It's tough when you get on the wrong side of the Google Police.

Yeah, I kinda liked his attitude: Didn't complain (at least that I could find), didn't explain, just moved, and now he's up at at least two services. Problem? What problem?
But you're right, Trooper. If the EBL's old comments are gone, it would save me the trouble of finding my few remaining ones. And I always understood flounces and brilliant comments and insults and ghosts and cockroaches and the whole rest of the enormous mess of a magnum opus (talk about pretensions) could, and probably will, go *poof!* someday.
I think we've had a little preview, at least. Google makes money off the EBL, but it looks like they have at least one EBL-hater associated with them and with his finger on at least some *poof!*-making buttons. Plus the EBL has apparently really pissed off some powerful people/interests, and her blog may not be as bullet-proof (digitally speaking) as she thinks. Or all this could simply be deep technical trouble. I'll leave it to the EBL herself to discover what's been going on. This crap only interests me to the extent of how it might impact my own future blogging plans.
Meanwhile, Crack goes on with his pretty great blog. And I don't think he's too worried about digital immortality.
Because everybody, and all our works, are certain to go *poof!* in the end. I'm too lazy right now to look up an appropriate passage in Scripture. But I don't think Crack would appreciate it that much anyway.
It can all go away in the snap of a finger. But it is guaranteed to go away if you take yourself too seriously. I think the Crack Emcee is more like you and me because he is blogging for other reasons than immortality. He has a story to tell and he is going to tell it no matter what. What went on before is interesting but not vital. It is his message today that counts.

I've seen that porno. There was a lot of typing and none of the actors even saw each other.
Even weirder than the stuff they do in Japan.
If the blog goes away, it'll have been sort of like an inchoate Christo thingy.
Sort of fits with Althouse, actually.
