Abruptly.

The End
After 4 1/2 years and 958 posts I have decided to retire from blogging. No weblog can go on forever [???] and I would rather end on my own terms than let the blog peter out.
Thanks for reading.

Computational Complexity was a high-quality blog.

Group blogs with good participation (a la Overcoming Bias or Concurring Opinions) are the way to go. Writing for the blog should not be put solely on one person’s shoulders.

Addendum:

Lance says:

Thanks for all the kind words. I feel like I have had the opportunity to attend my own funeral.
I plan to leave the weblog fully intact for the forseeable future. I put too much into the weblog to remove it all now.

Addendum #2: Somebody has taken over.

The Complexity Blog Lives!

Various people have urged Lance to keep the Blog going, perhaps under new management. Some have suggested Bill Gasarch (me) . Some have suggested anyone except Bill Gasarch. Lance flipped a coin and it came up with anyone but bill gasarch . However, not one to leave things to random chance, Lance offered me to take it over, and I accepted.
PROS: The blog will live!
CONS: It will have far more capital letters.
CONS: Fewer postings, probably twice a week. But that how Lance started.
I am honored to carry on the tradition, and will have my first real post next week.
