I suppose that once Phish the band reunited for New Year’s 2003, I should have guessed that this would happen. Unbeknownst to me (until now, of course), two old-school bloggers – Phishtail and GameSix – have returned to the game. Welcome back, y’all.

Congrats in Order.
Congratulations to my friend Jon, whose satellite successfully launched yesterday evening. Also, congrats to Mike (and Dineen) of What’s On It for Me? on their forthcoming first child. Usually I would bemoan more GOP voters coming into the world, but I’ll definitely make an exception in this case.
2003 Comings and Goings.
Genehack returns to his former digs, Do You Feel Loved? closes up shop, and Absolute Piffle warns of an extended break (Congrats on the adoptions.) Also, happy blogdays (belated, in CiB’s case) to Caught in Between, WebGoddess, and Dumbmonkey. Keep up the great work, y’all.
Clipped Left Wing.
Bloggers of the Left, Unite! (Via LinkMachineGo.) As Lake Effect has noted before, I’m positive Lefty bloggers aren’t the rare breed the author thinks they are – a quick browsing through the portal will lead you to dozens of well-written progressive and liberal blogs (Ethel the Blog, Tomb of Horrors and Monkeyfist, for example, to name three off the top of my head.) In fact, I’d hazard to say that the majority of blogs are probably of a lefty bent. Unfortunately for balanced discourse, though, Sullivan and Reynolds both seem to have captivated huge (by blog-standard) audiences almost right from the start. I’d be lying if I didn’t find their immediate popularity considerably annoying, but oh well…that’s just sour grapes. After several years of writing this blog, I’ve found its best not to dwell on the (lack of) readership…Therein lies madness.
Soldiering On.
A report from the Sixth Annual Webby Awards.
Cabal vs. New Jacks.
Warblogs and the Pyra crew have it out in the NYT.
Stand clear of the closing doors, please…
The NYC Bloggers Subway Map, by way of Do You Feel Loved?, who also pointed the Blue Kylie remix that’s getting a lot of run on my Windows Media Player right now.
New digs, new features.
The ghost has moved! (And the personal site is now at http://www.kevincmurphy.com…most of the links should work, but bear with me during the transition.) Geocities had finally gotten to be too erratic, so now I’m paying less for a much faster, friendlier, and more flexible server with Cornerhost. And, what with the new digs and all, I’ve decided to experiment with Movable Type. So, GitM now has such goodies as permalinks, category archives, comment boards, and other interactive-type stuff other blogs have benefited from for years. If the experiment doesn’t work, I might still go back to old-school html…we’ll see. So far, ah lahk it a lawt.
