Congratulations to my roommate, who is closing shop at his own blog and opening a new editorial space at Josh Marshall's TPMCafe. Think that involves repainting? Lifting heavy boxes of code? Regardless, may his professional success continue unabated (particularly if it is paired with a financial success that will furnish our home in new and potentially high-definition ways).
(Related—for a while there, it looked as if MY was going to have to come up with a bloggy sort of blog name (like Grammar.police or what have you). Rebranding is tough, especially when the best suggestions your friends will offer is "MY Side of the Story!!" and "Whyglesias.")

"Y a duck"
"Y me"
"Y not"
"DLC Punk"—helps if you know a little about TPM/politics, this movie, and Matt's musical taste. Plus, he's a total sellout now, and that's punk territory, right?
