Farewell, Jeeves

Is it sillier that I'm kind of wistful about the retirement of Jeeves from the site formerly known as Ask Jeeves, or that the Jeeves-retirement site above lets you send a farewell card to the cartoon butler? Or that they're letting us vote on Jeeves' retirement plans? Answer: All of it is sillier. But I'll miss the dapper little guy -- one of the last holdovers from the early part of the Web boom, and a more-literate-than-the-online-norm reference to the greatest of all factotums.
