After almost two years of solid effort, Stuart and I have decided it’s time to put the Pig to rest. We’ve enjoyed covering the local geek scene, but neither one of us has the time or energy to keep it going. And frankly, we’d rather be putting the effort towards hosting events (like Ignite Seattle, Saturday House, and Six Hour Startup) than simply writing about them.
We’re leaving you in good hands, though. To find out what’s happening on the tech scene around Seattle for any given day, check out TechFlash, or Seattle Tech Calendar or Gary’s Guide. And keep coming to the events – you’ll probably see at least one of us there.
We appreciate all of the comments, kind words and support we’ve received over the past few years. So please join Stuart and me for a last salute to the blog, and to Rachel, our muse and inspiration. We’ll be at White Horse Trading Company from about 7:30 to 9:30 on next Tuesday, the 2nd. Come, hang out with us and plan the next great Seattle event.
Why not adopt an open model where anyone can post blog entries and edit the Google Calendar? New moderator/owner types would appear, methinks.
Liz – That’s a great idea, and it’s definitely something that Justin and I talked about. If there’s enough interest, we’re open to trying a different approach with the site.
