Well, we're movin' on up...

If you've spent much time around here, you're aware that I spend a distressingly large amount of time in the comments over at Unfogged. Maybe you're familiar with the place, maybe not. The regulars there are some of the smartest, funniest folks you'll encounter on these here intarwebs, but regular reading of the comments is required to catch all the in-jokes, which are legion. That can make it seem a bit impenetrable on your first wander through, but believe me: it's worth the effort. A headier blend of high- and low-brow might not exist anywhere.

Anyhow, the fellow responsible for the joint, the great and mysterious Ogged, is hanging up his blogging cleats for good. Everybody raise your glass as a legend retires. However, The Mineshaft (as it is affectionately known) will not be shutting down. Alameida and Fontana Labs will still be posting, and five obsessive-compulsive commentators will be promoted from the farm system into the starting rotation as the new Unfogged blogging crew. They are: LizardBreath, Becks, Tia, Ben Wolfson, and some reprobate who calls himself apostropher.

I'll still be posting here, of course, but do come check out the new deluxe apartment in the sky. And again, a big thanks to Ogged for just under three years of stellar writing and creating a truly great community in the process.
