Where's Latitude 41 gone?

I notice that a great source of neo-cartographic discussion, www.41latitude.com, is now blank with no goodbye message. Anyone know what's happened? I have an idea but if anyone's got any firm news I'd be interested to hear.

The @41latitude Twitter account and justinobeirne.com have also gone. A great shame.

Are there any backups or chached versions of the GoogleMaps Label articles?

Not that I know of Konrad

They owner in his last blog post said that his work was done, the things he wanted to write about finished. I understood that to mean that he wont write anymore but not that the entire blog would be taken away. He had done some excellent meticulous analyses. I tried looking for a cache some weeks back but found nothing.

Momers,

I read a blog by a Googler last week (sorry, lost the link) where he said that a] he wasn't working for Google b] he thought he'd been absorbed by Apple since they are closed like this. Sounded sensible to me.

re 'meticulous analysis' yup, some incredible detail in there, its all I can do to write a blog post a week....
