I did mention that it's launch madness 'round these parts, yes? Over the weekend, I launched Gotham Acme, a personal music blog for a Democratic consultant. It's reeeeeally pretty and lovely, and I'm quite proud of it. Record turnaround on this one, too — just under two weeks from concept to launch.

I'm much too undercaffeinated to go into much detail, but in the wee hours last night, we relaunched Room Eight, a scoopy-insider-snark-scoop blog on New York politics. I was the designer and CSS tweaker on this one; much thanks to Doug Green of CivicActions for doing the heavy-lifting (and creative problem-solving) of coding. Happy relaunch, Room Eight!

A couple of weeks ago, the very kind editors of the new "Comment is free" blog on The Guardian's website (yes, that Guardian, the one in London) asked me if I would join their blogging team. Evidently they read AlterNet (who knew?) and dig my blogging there, so… there we were. It took all of, oh, 5 seconds to say, "yes please!"

I finally got around to posting my first blog over there, so go read and let me know what you think… "Evolution of geek culture."

I've had this domain up for over a year with the ubiquitous "coming soon" page covering it up; I figured as I'm about to embark on a journey to a new home in Brooklyn, maybe I should make a new home online, too. So, pardon while I'm still hanging curtains and getting the floors done nice… and welcome to my humble (?) abode.

Oh, and the site looks real goofy in Internet Explorer for PC right now (only the browser that 90% of you are using). You should really be using Firefox anyways.

Fixed that problem. Only thing not really working is the flickr badge at the bottom of the sidebar in IE6.0 for PC; I'm getting a 404 inside the iframe. sigh. You all should really use Firefox. ;-)
