What the hell happend to blogspot?

Hmm... long time no see, and I see that blogspot has gotten a new name, design and even decided to rename the address of my blog.

Thanks for doing something I did not ask for, or want :-(

Well to be fair, the old address still works, but it now redirects.
The new design is ok, and who am I to stand in the way of progress (after all I don't use it very often)?
The new name is perhaps the worst of the three. blogger.... what was wrong with blogspot? I liked it.

Ok, I sound like an old man, which I am not, so I', just going to shut up, and move on to what I really needed/wanted to do here.... write something useful for other people, and my own reference.
