Staving Off February

KaiYves has asked us to repost this piece of classic MuseBlogiana. Great idea, Kai!

Back in April 2008, UberMuser Grant O. sent us some sound files of narration for a proposed slideshow about ways to survive winter. He called it “Staving Off January.”

Before we knew it, Midnight Fiddler had drawn up some storyboards, and a New Zealand MBer named Zoe (who then went by Treble_Cone_Freeskier) turned them into a real multimedia presentation.

Here it is, to help you get through the rest of the winter:

Welcome Back!

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.
