Blogger's Going Down Again Tonight.
"I can't complain, but..."

Per their blurb:

Sorry for the short notice. Blogger.com will be down tonight, Thursday, February 9th, from 7:30–8:30PM PST. Blog*Spot will be unaffected.

We’re upgrading a database, which gives us more room to grow and will fix some transient comment problems that some of you have had recently.

I guess that means you can read but I can't post. Don't hold your breath on the reading part.

Still working on that essay. Probably Saturday.
