The new location is <a href=\"https:\/\/dabacon.org\/pontiff\/\">https:\/\/dabacon.org\/pontiff<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>So long and thanks for all the fish!<\/h3>\n<p>  Over the past three years I&#8217;ve had a good time blogging here at Scienceblogs.  Though I rarely agree with much they say (haha, classic curmudgeon that I am) I can honestly say my fellow Sciencebloggers are a great bunch of people, and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll continue to get irritated at what they write for many years to come (just kidding, I always <a href=\"http:\/\/scienceblogs.com\/sunclipse\/\">agree<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/scienceblogs.com\/startswithabang\/\">with<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/scienceblogs.com\/catdynamics\/\">the<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/scienceblogs.com\/principles\/\">physicists<\/a>! \ud83d\ude09 )<br \/>\n&#8220;Great Dave, thanks for taking a stand against the PepsiCo blog!&#8221;  Well actually, I&#8217;ve been thinking about leaving for a while, so it would be disingenuous of me to claim this is all about the PepsiCo blog.  You see about six months ago, something quite miraculous happened (for some definition of miracle).  He&#8217;s pictured above being indoctrinated into the liberal media that is the New York Times.  Since baby Bacon&#8217;s birth, my blogging has dropped off a cliff (Grand Canyon style.)  Choosing between spending time with baby Bacon and quantum pontifficating is, well, a simple choice.  In light of my light blogging it seems natural to leave Scienceblogs and return to my original blog <a href=\"https:\/\/dabacon.org\/pontiff\/\">https:\/\/dabacon.org\/pontiff<\/a> where I can occasionally blog when in between changing diapers and getting peed on from three feet away (dude!)<br \/>\nNow, don&#8217;t get me wrong, I think Scienceblogs decision to host the PepsiCo blog is &#8220;bad! bad! bad!&#8221;  I&#8217;m happy that my fellow Sciencebloggers have protested violently against this.  Had I not been on the brink of leaving, I probably would have given the overlords the benefit of a doubt for a few days.  Everyone makes mistakes, to get cliche, and I&#8217;d rather measure my reaction after watching how people react to their mistakes (I believe this comes from being part California surfer dude.) So I guess what I&#8217;m saying is that this is about 80 percent pre-existing condition and 20 percent the Pepsi fiasco.  I&#8217;m sorry if that offends the more <del>activist<\/del> passionate among you, but it&#8217;s my own truth.  Or at least my own biased perception of how I feel.  Which is the best you&#8217;re going to get.<br \/>\nAnyway, on to more positive thoughts, please come on by and check out my new local: <a href=\"https:\/\/dabacon.org\/pontiff\/\">https:\/\/dabacon.org\/pontiff<\/a>.
