The Macalope bids farewell to CNET.

[Arnold Ziffel]

Sorry, Macalope, for you losing a source of revenue, but the column never looked right on cnet. Good luck

with the new old site and further endeavours.

I think you meant: "So long, and thanks for all the checks, suckers!"

I'm glad you're going back to your own thing. It was kinda like Congdon (who?) going to ABC (that worked out real well). CNET seemed too formal for you. Hopefully you'll be updating more frequently now that you're back to your own site.

A night of karaoke, singing Gloria Gaynor's "I will survive," should put you back in business. See you on the flip side.

Was it me? Was it that i was so lazy and only read the RSS feeds and rarely visited the C|Net home of the Macalope? Did this detract from the "page hits", that the Dvoraks of this world pursue with such vigour?

Nevertheless, as Arnie puts it in his post above, the column never looked right here. It just felt strange that mythical beasts should share dwellings with the downright mundane.

We know you'll land on your hooves and with some pleasure come visit you at your rightful domain.

Ah... I laughed, I cried, and that was just this post!

On to greener pastures, Macalope!

Just remember you'll never truly be macalone! Or something.

Your humor mixed with good common sense and real facts made a nice counter to the mindless bullet-point spouting of so many tech bloggers.

I've changed my bookmark and my RSS back to macalope.com and look forward to whatever comes next :)

He who blogs and runs away lives to blog another day, eh?

Pffft. I'll be there, pal.
