Everyone has no doubt heard by now that Will Sullivan is leaving us at The Palm Beach Post to become the Interactive Director of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. (See my comment on his post announcing the move for my true thoughts about the dude. It’s all true, every shocking detail. Seriously.) Good news for them, bad news for us. Here’s a special edition Paper View, just because.

Now then. We’re gutted about losing Will, but we’re not closing up shop. In fact, we’re down in the laboratory cooking up some truly cracking stuff, none of which I can discuss until you sign some nondisclosure forms, agree to participate in a Klingon blood oath ritual, etc. (Idea rejected in an early project planning session: Citizen journalism powered lolcat thingy. The lol wasn’t LOL-y enough. That’s just how committed we are to quality.)

So, if you think you’re as awesome as Will, you’re not. But if you aspire to be, get in touch. No formal openings or anything at this point, but we’re always open to more awesome. You would get to work with me, which, no joke, literally several people would agree is a considerable incentive in itself. And Matt, who built this entire site in less time than it took to warm up a frozen burrito in the microwave. True story. And Peter, who starts in a few weeks and once wrote a single, perfectly elegant line of code that correctly predicted the winner of the 2005 Kentucky Derby. That also is a 100 percent true and accurate story.
