Simplicity Rules

What an awful term, mothballed. By definition, it means that something is just being put away for a short while. But in reality, it usually means something is dead.

Well, I received a similar email that Valleywag references. It looks like last week’s sale of Wired News was the final straw.

Jeff Veen wrote a nice look back at HotWired, which has met a pretty slow death under Lycos’ watch. And, Jeff also wrote a goodbye to Webmonkey two years ago, the first time it died.

Webmonkey was a fun site to learn from and a great place to write for. I’ll miss it from both perspectives.
