Movable Type has aged.<\/p>\n<p>Well?<\/p>\n<p>Seems like I should be able to come up with somethinganything important sounding, some epideictic gloss on all that blogging has been and all that it will be, on how blogging has died and come back and died again and come back so many times since about 2006 that it&#8217;s hard to keep track of whether it is alive or dead right now. Let me guess: alive. Proof enough that blogs, until deleted or lost in upgrades and platform roulette or suspended in an ambiguous cryogenic limbo, are their own dead-living monuments.<\/p>\n<p>Exactly ten years ago I was applying to PhD programs. Owned a house on Missouri 9 Highway in Kansas City. Coached Ph.&#8217;s 7th grade basketball teams (Stampede Green and Stampede Blue). Taught as a part-time lecturer. Now am going up for tenure. Own a house in Ypsilanti. And I wear an old Stampede Blue winter hat when I jog the neighborhood in sub-50F weather. Turning over from a 9-ending to a big-0 birthday, myself, in a few months, blog.<\/p>\n<p>I know the entries aren&#8217;t evenly spread across these ten years (nor are they likely to be for the next 10 years, although I promise a much bigger celebration in 2024), but thank goodness EWM marked off and has therefore helped me remember what <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/mt\/archives\/2004_01.html\">happened<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/mt\/archives\/2004_08.html\">happened<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/mt\/archives\/2006_02.html\">happened<\/a>.
