Why do I learn about things like the LHC Countdown web page from Gizmodo, of all places? Yes, I like gadgety things like the next physicist (can I get a witness here?), but I’m always surprised when I learn things relevant to, like, science, from, like, you know, nerds.
But why is the webpage, um, down for the count? Gizmodo effect? Google cache has a recent copy, and it doesn’t look like an official announcement page (as I expected). Nor does it look like a doomsday-fringe page, as I expected next. Seems to be a genuinely-excited person, but one who seems to be attracting a lot of excited, um, commenters. Blogs are what they are, folks.
