Where did Blogspot go?

What happened? Why doesn't anyone say something, like "your blog site has changed, for these reasons, and here's how it affects you the user,etc." But no, it just changes with no comment, no explanation, no _____ing MANNERS! Well, at least that explains why I couldn't post a Youtube video I liked onto my blog - because the server I thought it had didn't EXIST any more.

OK, I've vented.

Since the last session, I have completed 23 things...I think. There was the brick wall or two. I had fun with pocasts, especially people's trained animals. The Gutenberg project was pretty impressive, especially for the vast array of languages available. It was good having wikipedia links for authors, and I liked the option for "human-read" which makes me wonder who'd want to hear an entire book read by a computerized voice? Some of the authors listed have been dead a long time, so this resource might be useful for literature research, say for a doctorale thesis.

Overall, I'm glad I did 23 Things, but like running a marathon or doing other good-for-you things, I'M SURE GLAD TO BE DONE. If you read any other posts here, you know it was often frustrating. It will be interesting to see which of these many gimmicky things will survive the test of scrutiny and become established parts of our 21st century computer culture. Then we can say, "Oh yeah, that was just getting started back in '07 when we did 23 Things."

I just hope some manners survive.
