In a city where the weather is conversation topic numero uno, and where geeks rule, it's no surprise that a shake-up in the meteorology scene could cause such the cultural tsunami. News of Cliff Mass's departure from KUOW's Weekday rocked the city, sparking debate about free speech, big media and, of course, the weather. His presence on public radio has been sorely missed, but all you weather fanatics get pumped: Cliff is coming back!

Tweeter of the Week: @SeattleBuskers

Seattle PostGlobe Ready for its Closeup Now
A revamped Seattle PostGlobe--courtesy of those crazy kids at Instivate--has rolled out, and along with it, they've rolled out a refocused mission: to be "the source for economic and local civic news." The ex-P-I crew is divvying up the city thusly: Kathy Mulady is on elections coverage; Larry Lange, transportation issues; and Kery Murakami takes City Hall. Plus they've nabbed PubliCola's Josh Feit for local politics input. But wait there's more! They've got video from KCTS 9 and new reports from KPLU 88.5 FM. We applaud their work integrating local blogs into the site, too. Now to integrate the money...
