All Good Things Must Come To an End...

As of this writing, it has been over a year since anybody wrote anything for this site. There are still a couple of "hot" articles that occasionally get some hits, and even some comments, but, on the whole, it's time to say that this site is dead. It might not stay dead for ever -- All of the columns will stay here, and the comments will stay open for the time being, but I won't be posting any new content her for the forseeable future.

I was reluctant to do this. RunningInCircles.com was the first "real" web site I ever created, and in it's heyday it was maintained as a joint venture between three of us at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Ultimately, I think this concept -- the "user-submitted articles" thing -- was made obsolete, if not by the ascent of click-and-create blogging services, by the ascent of MySpace. RunningInCircles.com, at least in its previous form will not be returning.

I started this site in 1999, and it's been through a couple of phases, from being a personal web site, to being a sort of exceedingly minor online magazine with a small community, to being a bullhorn for a national sales tax, to being a ghost town. I may eventually turn it into something else, but for the time being, I just don't have time to take on another project, so it could be a while.

If you are still in new-material withdrawal after these 19 months, you can get a diet of that over at my blog, Running with Rocks and Paper.

And, just to get this out of the way before anyone asks, this domain is NOT for sale. Don't even bother.
