Dear Cafe readers:
As you've likely noticed, we were essentially offline (except for a few intermitten spurts of service) from this past Thursday (4/17) evening until last night. Our blogging platform, Typepad, experienced what is known in the business as a DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack, which crashes websites and other online services for can be (and were for us) days a time. Apparently similar attacks have hit several other high-profile tech companies in recent weeks, including Meetup, Basecamp, Vimeo, Bit.ly and others.
At any rate, we are thrilled to be back up this morning. Thanks to all of you who checked in to express your concern over the past few days.
On to our regularly scheduled content!
Best,
Ann and the cast of contributors
