It saddens me in times like this, we have to see a number of amazing sites closing down. As far as I remember, it started out with JPG magazine and Pingmag, and today a little birdie told me we have to also bid adieu to Speak Up, the very informative, long-running design blog curated by Armin Vit & Bryony Gomez-Palacio.
Seeing weeks and weeks go by where we have only two or three posts (and one of them being the Quipsologies round-up) has become too painful for us. It’s also like watching Ozzy Ozbourne today, still holding on to that rock glory but he can’t really rock no more, not like he used to. I really feel relieved that we are closing it. Its time has come. It served its purpose and it made its mark. Not many blogs can claim that and we are happy with what it’s done. Time to move on to other things.
Quoting from a commenter, I've also absorbed a lot from Speak Up. With the abundance of web sites offering quick visual delights (in which I also adore) Speak Up provides me a discussion in length and also things to ponder upon. It's always good to keep the idea generators (i.e. the brain) running for me.
Thanks Armin & Bryony, it has been an incredible journey. Speak Up will surely be missed by many of us. (Photo of Face Chair from P-ARCH)
