I had thought I would wait till number 500, but I didn't see any point in the round number. As of this entry, number 488, ELECTRON BLUE will cease publication. I have been thinking this over for a while. This Weblog has been going for more than four years, ever since February of 2004. I have written about all sorts of subjects, from math to music to art to surrealistic spam. This Weblog has a distinguished readership who enjoys visiting.

This all takes time to maintain and write, though, and at this point I don't have the time. My focus and scheduling are changing. Though I still love math and science, I have not spent as much time as I would like on it because I have increasing commitments with day job and artistic work. Things change in people's lives, and I am not different from other folks in that regard.

I know that my readers will still want to see new artwork from me, so this site will not go away. The "Electron Blue" weblog will be retired but the "machinery" will still be there, and a periodic "art show" will take its place, where I will present new finished work, and possibly talk about it. I will leave the archives of ELECTRON BLUE up on the site, available for browsers and search engines.

And so, as a late September thunderstorm rumbles outside, I place ELECTRON BLUE out into the pasture of memory, where it may stay a picturesque part of the Internet landscape as long as I own the land it was built on.
