"Well, the new New Economy isn't treating me any better than anyone else out there. The free hosting that I've been lucky to have for kottke.org is ending in a couple months and I'm moving it to a new non-free home. Due to the amount of traffic I get... the hosting is a wee bit expensive and I've had to look at some, shall we say, desperate options.
"One of these options is the x10 popunder ads. I hate them too, but kottke.org has to start paying for itself now that the free Internet is over with. I don't know if I'm going to keep them or not, but it's an option.
"Free is over, friends, even for personal sites. Embrace the future."
(I'm still not sure if it's a joke or not...)
