With the demise of Geocities, I remember back to my first web site, which was hosted on Geocities, back in 1996/7.  I can’t even remember the address, to be honest.  It was a simple site, with little original content.  But, it reminds me how transitory the internet really is.  It is always changing, which is a great strength and weakness.  This is why, through it all, I have kept Cyberphreak.com.  Yeah, it costs money, but since I am paying for it, it is much less likely to disappear some day.  Myspace, Facebook, Bebo will all be gone eventually, along with all that content.  This is why books and magazines are still printed.  The death of a website does not wipe out that knowledge.
In other news, I don’t know about your area, but Chicagoland had no summer this year, and, so far, a really cold fall.  It dipped near freezing with frost everywhere this morning.  I think Halloween will be a cold one this year.
I have been keeping busy, work is going well.  Things are picking up, to the point that overtime has come back for the hourly people and a few people who were laid off are back.  It is a good sign if the electronics industry is looking up, since electronics is in everything.  I have never seen a recession this long or deep.  I hope we never see one like this again.
