Brian Alvey, co-founder of Weblogs, Inc. and someone I respect and admire immensely, just announced he’s leaving AOL. No surprise there, I’ve basically been counting down the days. Bummed as I am that he’s moving on, I’m super happy that he’s picking up an exciting new thing: founding a comic book publishing company! (To quote him: “Of all my bosses I’m my own favorite, so this should be fun.”) Plus, I guess this means that I get to work closer with my good pal Gavin Hall, who will be filling his post, so it ain’t all bad, right? Sigh.
