 They came back up a couple hours later.  Perhaps the Brad Blog

 they changed servers is to put up their new Web 2.0 (?) layout which is 
 meeting with mixed reactions.  I actually liked the older format because 
 it was easy to scan the summaries and see if you wanted to read that

 a messy Web 2.0 design compared to other news sites I've seen using Web 
 2.0.  Go check it out:

ROTFL!  There was such an outrage they've reverted to their old format!  
I think their new design was WAY too much of a revision.  I've seen 
other sites do these updates but with better planning and considering 
what it was about the old design that made them successful.
