For those of you who didn’t read the meager updates on our Muse Academy emergency blog, MuseBlog was offline almost all day yesterday because our host company was having server problems. We reappeared about 10 p.m. blog time, a bit dazed and lonely but apparently none the worse for wear.
So in case anybody was wondering: no, it wasn’t you, and it wasn’t SOPA. Just a technical glitch that we probably wouldn’t understand even if somebody explained it to us v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.
Anyway, it’s good to be back.

Continued from v. 2010.2. We don’t know what happened to 2011.
