OMG BEARS! has finally decided to pack it back to the only town in America worth acknowledging: New York City! Last box packed. Then it's one more post office run and then I attempt to get all kinds of work stuff done before a red-eye. Ugh. about 17 hours ago from TweetDeck View from the hill on my last trip out of the house. http://twitpic.com/smkjv about 6 hours ago from Tweetie SFO to JFK about 3 hours ago from Tweetie Didn't she just move to SF like, six months ago?

While Rich Tong busily sends off bortchy responses to users questioning his fashion week blogger choices, tumblr has already served up enough errors this morning to prompt people to complain to me (because obviously I have total control over tumblr's servers). Way to start off the week, guys!

Tumblr is yet again up and down. On the heels of 24 hours of off and on error messages, the service experienced yet another clustercluck of wtf. It seems last night posts were not appearing, then appearing, then disappearing. Tumblr explained the issue via twitter, the usual way of getting information out reliably: A lagging database pool is causing recent posts to show up intermittently. We're working quickly to restore performance. 16 hours ago So...once again they are having database issues. And if the errors some people are still having are any indication, they are now over capacity - again....

Well Jake Lodwick, that guy who did that thing that time, is once again leaving blogging. I’m taking a vacation from blogging. I will be off until April 16th (at the earliest). My life has changed a lot and I want to reevaluate my relationship with you. I will miss you. UGHHHH. Dude, you already pulled this flounce Crap 5 months ago. It's starting to come off like he's just making sure people care if he's online or not. Post or don't post, this isn't 2002, we don't need a big "leaving internets" announcement!

Brittany Dawn, ragebaiter, is inducing rage again. Today someone claiming to be 'an animal advocate and rescuer in Texas' says they found Brittany's former pit bull Niko abandoned and starving.

Emily Brill, ultimate sleep inducer, has had a pretty dull twitter lately. This week's highlights? Wow. I was born in 1982, so 1973 (when the Supreme Court ruled on Roe) really seems like ages ago.

Leandra Cohen, founder of Repeller (fka Man Repeller), finally posted a notice regarding the closure of the site. Days after weakly blaming the economy in statements to news outlets, she has confirmed the shut down on Repeller. (more…)

Nick Denton, overlord of Gawker Media, doesn't believe a short comment is a worthy comment. Most likely in an effort to stop people from commenting "+1" and "THIS", if you post a comment under 35 characters other commenters will not be able to respond to your words of brilliance. Instead they see this: I'm not sure what this is supposed to solve or prevent. Since people can still just post "+1000" and "@" the original commenter, I don't think this new "feature" has done anything but further annoy Gawker readers who are already irritated with the continuing redesign glitches. Frankly...
