Matthew Cromer, a frequent commenter here, has decided to discontinue his excellent blog Science Is A Method, Not A Position. Apparently he wants to spend less time hunched over his keyboard, staring at a bunch of pixels while cultivating carpal tunnel syndrome. Though it's hard to blame him, his blog will be missed (and I don't say that just because he gave me more than my share of plugs - including his next-to-last post).
Fortunately, AMNAP's archives will remain online. Check 'em out. Lots of good stuff there, and much food for thought.
Update, Dec. 6: As has been pointed out in comments, I was wrong about the archives. AMNAP has disappeared from the Web. It's a shame, as the blog contained a lot of worthwhile info and good writing. But all things must end.
I guess I should consider myself lucky. I got in on Matthew's blog just under the wire, and between a Michael Prescott sandwich nonetheless.
I wish you many happy adventures without your keyboard, Matthew. I am sure you will be able to find plenty of non-digital awe and wonder out there to keep you from falling into the reductionist black hole.
Stay in touch. Cheers.

I'm sorry, I thought I would be able to leave the old pages up but that was not possible. I know this will be a PITA of broken links for you, Michael.
The spammers jumped on the old name immediately. You might be able to find the content on the internet wayback machine long term and for now most everything can be read via the google cache, I can't access wayback from work though. . .
Time for me to spend time unplugged with my wife, children, horses, dogs, cats, work, etc.

Did anyone happen to save the content of his blog? I can't access any of it at all now, not even with the google cache link he provided. I don't want all of this important information lost forever. I never even got a chance to read much of it either. =;.;=
