1/20/04: Happy trails

Paul
Dennis
Matt and
Sam have announced that the well-loved Haypenny.com is shutting down before jumping the proverbial shark. If you haven't yet had the chance to see this impressively consistent journal from four lads from Detroit and their massive Internet cult of collaborators, definitely look.

And I'm not so much disappointed in this news as I'm bummed that for whatever reason Haypenny.com doesn't accept requests from Brazilian IP addresses. Seriously, over the past four months I've tried to load Haypenny from computers of all shapes, sizes, cafes, browsers, OSs, connections, on and on and they all claim that the server doesn't exist. Even the Haypenny-hosted images on Paul, Sam, Dennis, and Matt's respective weblogs don't show up in Brazil (and Jesse's site doesn't exist here either) . Maybe that's why no one's heard of Haypenny down here.

Anyways, congrats guys on three remarkably consistent years and piles and reams of hilariousness. It'll all be missed.
