Welcome to the New Blog!
Well, since you have found this, obviously you know the new URL. Hopefully Moveable Type will be as cool as it seems.
Thanks are in order to Ann for making it all possible (building the new site, moving the archives, etc.), so to show my appreciation I am going to give her a big plug! Hire her for any web design needs (or cool percussion gigs). You can find her at pink mochi.
I will be continuing to fiddle with this, categorizing posts and so forth. I will also finally put my list of links in order and post it, as this is going to be my web home for awhile.
EDITED: I have added a few links, but have really just begun. They are in no particular order. Please don't be upset if your blog is not on there and should be. It will be. If I have still forgotten to add it by the middle of next week, shoot me an email and I will add it!
EDITED: As Ann pointed out, I misspelled Movable Type. It has been duly noted and will stand in error as a typographical sanbenito for the Keilholtz family to endure for generations upon generation. Amalia will check into college and the Dean will look over his spectacles at her and say, "oh, yes, um, Keilholtz, yes, well, it does sound familiar, AH, the family that could not spell "Movable." Tsk tsk, young lady, you might find it awfully difficult here at the University."
It took me a bit to figure out what you meant by MT! I subscribe to the Mundo Taurino email list, which is always refered to as MT, so I was wondering, "hmmm, did Stanley hire Ann to do some MT webwork?" Then it dawned on me! MT - picked type! Of course.
The most amazing picked type operation I have ever seen was in China. They were still picking type at many of the outfits we saw in 1983. Imagine the difficulty of being a typesetter in the Chinese language, where even an educated, highly literate person does not know all the characters. Thank you, Semites via Greece via Etruria via Rome!

Posted by: ann at August 12, 2003 12:20 PMHey, I signed the recall petition -- despite my loathing for direct democracy -- just to poke a stick in Gray's gubanatorial eye. I'm sure you can find my name on a Recall Davis website somewhere: that should be sufficient proof for your noble purposes. For the sake of our fair state and all that we hold dear, delay no longer, and add another Golden State voice to the blogroll while our foes still tarry!
Posted by: Jeff Culbreath at August 12, 2003 12:20 PMHa ha! Jeff, you will be on there ASAP, along with others. It is just that Sacramentans have to undergo a mandatory waiting period for the background check. You know, with madmen like Gray Davis running around, one cannot be too careful!
Posted by: Erik Keilholtz at August 12, 2003 12:20 PMErik, I like the new site, but let's cut to the chase: What am I, chopped liver? If I had a blogroll you would be on it, and very prominently -- in bold, with comments about your talent and wit. But nevermind. It's because I'm a trad, I know. That's fine, just fine.
Posted by: Jeff Culbreath at August 12, 2003 12:19 PMWell, I am a linotype man, can't be expected to remember how to spell what we used to call picked type.
You definitely get a dinner! When?
Posted by: Erik Keilholtz at August 12, 2003 12:19 PMIt's "Movable" Type.
I think it's better than Blogger, but it was a pain in the ass to set up...
Do I get a dinner? ;)
Posted by: ann at August 12, 2003 12:19 PMWell, it had to be done. I was sick of crashing comments! So far I think that Moveable Type is vastly superior.
Posted by: Erik Keilholtz at August 12, 2003 12:18 PMCongratulations. It's good to see that you escaped from Blogger.
