That Smart like Streetcar and Tempest in a Teapot have had to flee with their domains to a far and distant land in order to avoid the evil King Herod and his minions of shittiness.*
You can find Kristina here.
And Richard here.
Please look for us in our new homes in Nazare…. er, in some unnamned [...]

Grace (Period)
Posted in Housekeeping, Life on August 25, 2008 | 8 Comments »
Apparently, I was a little hasty. Our domain registrar has a grace period, so we’ll maintain control over the domains for the next 12 days, and no one can purchase them out from under us. That gives me time to pay the bill.
A dozen days and counting!
I’m not sure if the domain registry will continue [...]
The Last Hurrah
Posted in Housekeeping, Life on August 25, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I’m sorry for such short notice, but after today, Smart Like Streetcar will be no more.
In a nutshell, we can’t afford to renew the domain names for SLS and Tempest in a Teapot and so, after today, they will lapse. And this link will fail. As will our email addresses.
I can’t begin to tell you [...]
Not dead, just MIA

Kristina and I haven’t bought the farm, we’re just coping with a busy, stressful start to the New Year. I’ll be writing about it more in the coming days. In the meantime, global warming has overcome the La Niña effect, and winter has taken a vacation. Today was 10°C (50° F), so we enjoyed a [...]
Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary!
Posted in Housekeeping, Internet on December 15, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Just a short housekeeping note. One week ago, Smart Like Streetcar celebrated it’s first anniversary amid much fanfare and popping of Champagne corks.
OK, OK… so I sort of forgot about it. I knew it was getting close, but one day pretty much fades into the next, and the moment passed.
I started SLS to learn how [...]
NaBloPoMo, Day 30
Posted in Housekeeping, Internet on November 30, 2007 | 6 Comments »
I can’t say it was difficult posting every day during NaBloPoMo, for I seldom run out of things to say. That’s my blessing. And my curse.
But writing something that people might want to read for 30 straight days… That is an altogether more difficult task. I tried hard to talk about things that interest me [...]
NaBloPoMo #3 in Jeopardy?
Posted in Housekeeping on November 2, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I’m wondering if NaBloPoMo has a disaster clause?
I shouldn’t have any problem posting tomorrow, if the weather cooperates. As we speak, Hurricane Noel is losing strength as she moves across the cool North Atlantic. So she should be a tropical (or post-tropical) storm by the time she hits Nova Scotia.
In other words, Noel will [...]
NaBloPoMo Begins
Posted in Housekeeping, Internet on November 1, 2007 | 1 Comment »
National Blog Posting Month begins today, a month-long orgy of blogging in which I promise to post every day, joining more than 2,000 almost 4,000 bloggers with similar intentions.
It’s not too late to join the mayhem. Good luck to all!
Attention SPAMbots
Posted in Housekeeping on October 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
If you have a Blogger or Movable Type account, and don’t mind sharing, let me know how many SPAMbots try to post messages on your site every day. I’m assuming that blogging platforms like Typepad and Blogger have a number of in-house safeguards that keep your blog from being overwhelmed by SPAM for Viagra, hydrocodone, [...]
WordPress 2.3
Posted in Housekeeping, Internet on October 2, 2007 | 3 Comments »
If you have a designer’s sensibilities, you might have noticed a slightly different look here at Smart Like Streetcar.
I’ve just updated to WordPress 2.3, the latest and greatest version of the blogging system that I use to run this site.
My heart was in my throat the entire time. First, I backed up the SLS database. [...]
