The comings and goings at a New York publisher are rarely of interest to me even when it's the same New York publisher I work for, but it's going to be awesome to have Choire Sicha as a fellow Gawker Media employee again. Here's the Wall Street Journal story.
Choire & Nick Denton & I started SPLOID together two years ago. It was a weird attempt at combining a Gawker blog with Tabloid.net and Drudge, so it didn't exactly change the media landscape or whatever. But working with Choire was absurdly fun.
He was great at Sploid and Gawker and Wonkette, where he was guest-editor for a while, and the New York Observer stuff he wrote was my favorite part of that paper/website. Hooray for Choire! Maybe I'll actually meet him in person one day.
