The New York Observer goes off the record with my roommate Spack and discusses his termination from TNR. Apparently, no one bothered to tell him that starting a blog is very 2003, but he went and did it anyway and turns out to be a total pro. He was d00ced within the week!
Also new but not really new to the nabe: Catherine and Tommy each have blogs (again). I should hope that they don't lose their jobs, too, but if Catherine does, it will mean that everyone in our happy home laptops it from the house and area cafes. Speaking of desktop publishing, I'll have more fascinating content on this site soon, but having lost a week to the flu and various personal crises I need to resume billable work first.

Sucks that he got fired though.

Much as I loved the "skullfucking" bit, I was more impressed that he threatened to bash his editor's head in with a baseball bat in an intra-office email.
