They didn't say what he will be doing. Also this has been in the works for a while.

NPR cites Solicitor General Don Verrilli as a potential Holder successor.
I didn't know the government hookers had a general.

He can be. He admits as much.

Heh, iirc, that was the result of an informal fan survey. He had redesigned a few times, and was about to again, and asked what his readers preferred out of 2-3 versions, one being the original-ish style. There used to be two stick figure guys double-teaming a stick figure ladaay at the top of the page. So...

What was the third choice that his fanbase rejected? Pictures of steaming piles of poo?

It looks so myspacey. It hurts my eyes. It's really awful. Yes, I know the solution and no, I won't be revisiting Ernie's House of MegaLinks any time soon.


Also, admitting to being an asshole doesn't automatically absolve someone for being an asshole...so

In 1998 I stood in the ramshackle office space of a friend who had just started a webpage design business. It was called WWWebservers, which we mockingly pronounced with all the Ws. He excitedly showed off two of his favorite new tools, Google ("you can literally search for 'shit,' and a thousand pages about shit will come up," ) and Photoshop ("like Paint, but on steroids." )

A thousand pages, indeed. 1998 was a good year.

Actually, shit, that might have been 1997. I can't remember when my friend broke up with the guy who connected us to those friends. Now I feel old.
