Outpost 505

You heard that right! We’re pulling up shop, consolidating our internet real estate, and telling tales of food, travel, beer, cats, and other adventures over at TeamBeers.net.

Get it? Because our last name is Beers and we’re a team? Team Beers?

You wouldn’t believe how difficult it is to find a fun domain name that involves beers and refers to more than one person. I occasionally refer to the two of us as Team Beers, so that’s the best we got. We’ll continue to post on both sites until the end of the month, but beginning September 1, Outpost505 will be deprecated.

You’ve served us well, little domain, since the time when we actually were in an outpost numbered 505. I don’t know that I’ve ever told the origin story for this domain, come to think of it! For the first few weeks I lived in Virginia, I worked remotely for my old job at GSLIS. Many of us GSLIS folks would have our location in our status message – you know, for those who wanted to chat IN PERSON rather than on the computer LIKE A CIVILIZED BEING.

Anyway.

We lived in apartment 505 at The Carlton A Condominium, so I set my location as “GSLIS Outpost 505″. It just made sense. And we’ve stuck with it for the last four years, two apartments, and one duplex.

So out with the old, and in with the new! Come see us at TeamBeers.net! And while you’re at it, update your bookmarks, links, and RSS feeds, if you don’t mind. We’re still kicking the tires and filling out parts of the site, but I promise good things, including some new features I’m still cooking up. We’d love to have you visit.

Outpost505 is moving! Please update your feed readers and bookmarks to point to TeamBeers.net, where we’ll continue to blog about food, beer, and life in the Mitten.
