Online media is ready to eat its young, we see. Paul Constant, Glenn Nelson, and Chuck Taylor have reviews in on the new, online-only Seattle P-I and it's mostly thumbs down. Each of them seems to think the move to an online platform was a planned transition, and that there should have been some "reinvention" to wow everyone on Day One. Our sense was that thanks to Hearst's poker skills, no one at the P-I was sure until a few days ago that they even had jobs, let alone what they were. Someone was working on a simple, clean mobile interface, but a site redesign had to be out of the question.

If you're reading this, we have the ability to post. You don't have the ability to comment...yet. Hang in there. Once the backend shenanigans are finished, there's a new "look" for Seattlest that's going to come online as well. Along with some other holiday goodies. For one thing, if we're reading the instructions correctly--lessee, flange A goes to socket B---you'll be able to type link URLs into comments and we'll convert 'em to live hyperlinks on the fly. Is that cutting edge of 2003 or what! Anyway, it's very exciting, so stay right there on the edge of your seat.

Dear readers: There comes a time in every blog's life when no matter how good things have been going--and they have been good--when you see an upgrade and you get to thinking... Well, it's an old, old story. The long and short of it is, we're going to be taking a little time off from you this weekend. We hope--we swear this is true--that it's just for a few hours, just until we get our database straight. But you know how it goes. Sometimes...things come up. Maybe you'll be there when we come out the other side. We hope you will be. We have pictures of slushy streets to share. Oh, they're really slushy. Just how you like.
