Like the majestic phoenix rising from the flames, or perhaps more aptly like a zombie clumsily staggering towards an easy meal, it's hard to keep Brick Town Talk down for good. It might have taken a few flesh wounds in 2012, but thankfully it dodged the all important headshot.
If you are reading this, you will see that we are now on our new domain - www.bricktowntalk.com. As it likes to do, life sometimes gets in the way, and as such the old domain is currently in limbo for the time being. The plus side is now you will be able to visit us even faster than before now that you don't have to type those time-consuming hyphens - you could (and should) update your bookmarks to reflect this change.
There are still some things that don't work correctly, but the basic blog should be more or less fine. I'm going to slowly work on getting everything back to where it was as well as implement a few enhancements here or there - nothing drastic, mostly just hair and make-up. Thankfully I am able to do this now that I am a site administrator instead of just an author.
It's been a crazy year for sure. For me personally it has seen the completion of my two largest MOCs to date, my work appearing in two museums (including 7 of my modulars currently at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center in CT as part of a collaboration with I LUG NY which will remain until the end of January) as well as multiple rotations in the Rockefeller Center LEGO Store, and learning that other people have been creating instructions of my work without asking and then selling them online - be weary of any instructions you find of my Bricklyn Borough Courthouse floating around. Still, compared to the world at large and some of the recent headlines in it, any triumphs or failures on the part of this site and its admins are extremely minor indeed.
So again I will utter my favorite phase of the past year - thank you for your patience.
Here's to the New Year,
- Jonathan

You might want to think about leaving a note on Facebook about the domain change. I just commented on a few people's questions about it with a new link, but I was about 2 seconds away from deleting the bookmark. Luckily I frequent the LEGO Flickr page, too, and saw the 2012 in review. If not for that, I'd have assumed the website was gone.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me of this. Right now I just have the keys to the site itself - I'll try to get access to our Facebook page next.
