Have some punch! Watch Uncle Albert play pin-the-footer-on-the-website! (Yes, I realize it’s turning out to be one of my lamer attempts at party games, but it’s too late now.)
So who’s retiring? Let’s see…first, there’s Pow. She’s spent one whole year partying her heart out in LiteSite-ville, and she’s ready to call it a day. I hate to lose Pow, but she assures me that she’s leaving so that bigger, better things can take her place. Her last day is officially Friday, so we still have time to say goodbye. (I’ve heard rumors that the bigger, better things will also be more expensive, so it might not hurt to get a piece of her before she leaves.)
And speaking of getting a piece, we’ve also got another retiree on the way out (apparently, LiteSites have a short career life). Pathos is a bit young to be as successful as he’s been, but he’s worked so hard that I’m not surprised. He’s ready to dump his professional attire in favor of a fishing vest and waders — who knew?
And finally, one more retiree. No, it’s not Verbatim (that happy fella is quite determined to keep working, at least for now). It’s someone that we’ve all come to know quite dearly — sjoystudios.com. I’ve loved this website, but it’s finally time to move on. Starting next Monday, we’re packing up camp and moving to new digs.
If you want to leave some final thoughts for either Pow, Pathos, or sjoystudios.com, I’m sure they’d appreciate it. Otherwise, drink up! (I think someone put something in the punch. Uncle Albert is getting a little rowdy on the karaoke.)
Yaaay! Exciting news!
I will miss you, Pow. We’ve spent a lot of time together these last few months. Thanks for all the good times. ::tear::
And farewell, sjoystudios.com. I love you dearly but I’m so excited to get to know your replacement.
Onward and upward!
So excited for all the new stuff and new site! Change is good

Aw, what? Gonna miss the old place. Also I got a better game for you, it’s called “watching Uncle Albert play pin-the-footer-on-the-website… in IE6!” Always loads of fun.

As someone who’s in his 3rd or 4th retirement, I’m glad to see you getting started on retiring early. I fully intend to continue right up until they plant me in the ground.
Good luck! Hope the new Amway site is an unqualified success.

@Kelvin — I am SO putting you in charge of the party games next time.
@Dick — Don’t even joke about Amway, man. lol
Thanks, guys! Changing it is bittersweet, but you know when your brain moves way faster than your website? That’s the phenomenon that’s happening here. This place just needs to keep up.

Thank you Fabeku! YOU are amazing…and I’m excited about what you’re up to over there in your sound sanctuary.
So long, amazing website that will still be ahead of its time for years to come.
And HELLO there, even MORE amazing new website! Ahead of ahead of ahead of its time. Its very existence is evidence that time travel into the future and back must be possible. Either that or you’re just a genius. Yeah, it’s probably the second one.

Goddess – this is incredible. SOOOOOO unique, fun while maintaining clean and elegant. How in the world do you dream these sites up!?!?!? The background is so groovy – like stone/marble.
Congrats on all of your upgrades. Raising our bars is the best!
Thanks! The background sort of reminds me of the cross-section of a tree. Which is highly appropriate.
