SpankTheMachine: We're Back » love http://www.spankthemachine.com/meta Countdown to Relaunch on Friday, 6/11/10 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 03:47:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 SpankTheMachine is Alive. http://www.spankthemachine.com/meta/2009/04/02/hello-world/ http://www.spankthemachine.com/meta/2009/04/02/hello-world/#comments Thu, 02 Apr 2009 05:49:45 +0000 Paco http://www.spankthemachine.com/meta/?p=1 It’s around 1:30am on the morning of April 2nd, 2009. I had been wanting to relaunch the site on April 1st, 2009 (after missing about 100 other deadlines over the previous two years) but I ran out of time again, so I decided to settle on May 1, 2009. While I had been planning on putting up a backchannel/meta blog thing detailing the planning behind SpankTheMachine, it wasn’t until coffee earlier today with a friend (talkin’ bout you, Shtudio) that the idea of a countdown to the launch came up. So pretend this post was yesterday, April Fools’ Day. There are exactly 30 days until May 1. On that day, I will launch SpankTheMachine. Being that I’ve been saying that STM is about a month away from re-launching for the past two years, it is time to walk the walk.

We got plans, dreams, slogans, and a sense that after eight years of El Bush, it is time to laugh again. We’re stoked to claim our corner of the interwebs, and if capitalism holds out long enough, we might be able to sell some shirts in the months ahead.

SpankTheMachine,

SpankTheMachine

4/1 – 4/2/09
