After over three years of acting as my stalwart, 100% uptime, ever-vigilant online presence, Is it Obvious?, is being taken down.

Take heart though. From this site’s charred remains, something better, will rise up — Phoenix-like — from the ashes. Stay turned the grand opening of a new website in place of this one within about 3-4 months.

Like a struggling network television show, the site will be retooled, new characters will be written in, and the final product will be unrecognizable to anyone who enjoyed it in the past.

For now, take a look around at some of the old posts while you still can. Some of the best, least incriminating entries may make the transition to the new site. So while a small selection of the non-embarrassing content will be available after the purge, most of it will go gently into the night without having fought the dying of the light.

If you you keep waiting for things to be as good as you want you want them to be, you’ll probably be waiting forever. This iteration of Is It Obvious? had always been planned a temporary stop-gap maneuver, in place until I could move on to bigger, better things.

Now stay tuned for the bigger and the better.
