around the old squirm.com yesterday - replacing those stodgy, useless, category, calendar and archive lists in the sidebars with a few of our favorite folks, moving around some headings and scrubbing off those nasty old trackback stains (all part of a virtual spring cleaning designed to shake some of the dust out of the old girl as a prelude to a more muscular posting regime) - i suddenly received news that the most wonderfully wonderful gridskipper.com has been sold by mothership gawker to nascent blog empire curbed. as one of gawker's lesser lights it is hardly a surprise that we were marched out naked and shivering to the auction block (along with sister sites wonkette and idolator), but our acquisition by curbed could herald a more energized community of readers and, one hopes, advertisers. what this means for yours truly remains to be seen, however, allow me to leap from my chair, proclaiming with vigour, "I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords!"
