Blogging is dead, social media killed it.  I&#39;ll be doing most of my posting from here on at &lt;a href=&quot;http://dom.cimafranca.com&quot;&gt;dom.cimafranca.com&lt;/a&gt; but they won&#39;t be to the length of my entries at the height of this site, just some web clips and occasional notes to myself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ll still keep the entries here up in the meantime, mostly for sentimental reasons, but at some point, they too will disappear into the ether.  I am also keeping the domain name &lt;a href=&quot;http://villageidiotsavant.com&quot;&gt;villageidiotsavant.com&lt;/a&gt; but I will most likely repurpose it for some other project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do appreciate the friendships I&#39;ve made through this space.  That&#39;s been the upside of it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for reading and following.  </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://villageidiotsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/1534936489641896200/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://villageidiotsavant.blogspot.com/2017/12/goodbye-thanks-for-reading.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8411475/posts/default/1534936489641896200'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8411475/posts/default/1534936489641896200'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://villageidiotsavant.blogspot.com/2017/12/goodbye-thanks-for-reading.html' title='Goodbye, Thanks for Reading'/><author><name>Dom Cimafranca</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02060486314112462681</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
