Farewell Sentinel

I finally disabled the Twin City Sentinel site yesterday. TCS–the name came from a defunct Winston-Salem newspaper–was originally designed to be a collaboration between Mark and me, first on local topics and then on things urban in general, but it never quite caught on with either of us (much less with anyone else) and it hadn’t been updated in a couple of years. The last PHP upgrade at Pair broke it, so I finally pulled down the remains yesterday.

Come on down

Tuesday morning at the doctor’s office (my own for a change) and the wifi is not working. The Muzak, inexplicably, is the theme from “The Price Is Right.” I’m not sure how I feel about that.
