I like weather. I like reading and learning about it. There was a neat little sub-blog off Gawker called TheVane... it was active for a while then it’s been silent since November 16. How does one start these sub-blogs? Can someone educate me on this? Because it looks like they (the only author) just gave up on this one with no explanation.

They got canned.

It was one of the sub blogs to go when Gawker made some changes.

Denton fired everyone because he’s a terrible at being a socialist

He just got picked up by Mental Floss.
Also, CA Pinkman (Behind Closed Ovens) is now at http://wonkette.com/author/c-a-pin…

Awesome, good for Mental Floss. Their co-founder is a friend of mine, lives right down the street. When we met last year, I was like “you’re a local celebrity!” and he was like “You’ve heard of us?”

And you were like “my dentist has been telling me to floss for years; of course I’ve heard of you!”

Gawker culled a load of sub-blogs recently to focus on the core. There’s been noticeably more unacknowledged advertorial since. Fortunately Jalopnik still seems immune, except when some stuff leaks over from the main Gawkerverse.

Does anyone know if Wes Siler got picked up anywhere yet?
