Idiot Laureate

THE ENDING

BUT I'M DUKE!!

When the IDIOTLAUREATE.COM domain expires in August 2025, I will be retiring the Idiot Laureate name with it. Though I haven't written anything new here in years, in that time I've given considerable thought to this place. Thought which has since sublimated into intention, and this intention, my intention, is now crystallizing...slowly, but pleasantly.

You'll hear more about this intention later, but suffice to say it begins with a new name. Nothing against the old name. I think it's aged favorably after 14 years. But in all that time, I think this page never quite found its identity. So I've brought Duke back, the old rogue, here to usher this domain into its next life.

After they've gone, I'll still be here, and maybe you'll still be here, too.

Yes, you. I mean, look at you. Is that you, here, right now? Bearing witness to this little sliver of a coda, whether by loyalty or by remarkable coincidence? I never did tell all that many people about this place, and I didn't even begin to work hard enough to keep the attention I drew. If it's you that's here, that's you I'm talking to. If you're here now...

...stick around a little longer, would ya? I intend to have some fun with this thing. Don't ask me when, but if you wanna know where to find me next?

Meet me at goodenough.best. Take your time. I surely am.
See you on the next one.

Eventually yours,
D
