Hearing Duane Eddy, Peter Gunn Theme
Hi everybody -- this is Joe,
coming at you from the land
of AIM Pages. I wanted to let you know that Editor
Jeff has moved on from his gig as Journals Editor. Here's a
message that he wanted to pass along to all of you:
As to the here and now, since I've stayed fairly close to the Journals world, I'll be wearing both my AIM Pages and AOL Journals blogging hats.
However, since I do (inconveniently) require sleep, I'll be on a reduced content publishing schedule for Magic Smoke and the Journals main page, and may put things like the Guest Editor Picks on a holiday break (or call up some other AOL Editors or previous Guest Editors to help me out -- I haven't quite figured it out yet.)
Also, Stephanie will be your first stop for Journals product news, issues, status and fixesin her blog, BamBam! -- which is as it should be, since she's the Journals Product Manager, and we usually just run to her for answers on all of the hard stuff (and a lot of the easy stuff), anyway.
For example, Stephanie gives us the scoop on the R10 Beta Install, which should go in on Thursday, 12/14.
In addition, other Journals team members will be around to help talk about stuff, both in their own blogs and here.
There's a lot of blog and other social media planning going on for 2007, and I'm involved in a lot of it. We're working on some interesting stuff. In the meantime, I'll need a little time to get caught up on Journals issues, so please bear with us.
Thanks -- Joe

Hearing Duane Eddy, Peter Gunn Theme
Goodbye, JournalsEditor -- Hello, JournalsEditor
"Today I join the ranks of Jon Miller, Jason Calacanis and a number of other digital ditch-diggers whose names history will ignore ... today is my last day at AOL.Many thanks to Jeff for his hard work and devotion to the Journals product and people, and best of luck. He'll be missed.
I'm actually pretty excited about it. I came here as a desperate freelance writer and furtive amateur blogger who may or may not have dooced himself -- and am leaving with polished, solid skills as a professional blogger, content creator, and programming manager. I'm looking forward to sharpening my writing outside of a corporate setting and going where the day takes me for a while, and I know I'm going to end up somewhere good.
For a few months, I've been standing at the end of the diving board and terrified to jump. Now that the lifeguard's blown the whistle, I can tell you that the free-fall feels fabulous.
I have learned so much here from so many incredible people, and I really feel ready to hit that deep water where the wild things swim.
My personal blog can be found at And I Am Not Lying, For Real, and it's where my love lies. It's going to get very awesome, very soon, and I encourage you folks to drop by next time you've got some time to kill.
You guys have been great ...
Lots of love,
Jeff Simmermon"

Woohoooooooooo JOOOE is back!
: )
Brandi -
I would have matched your severance package if you told your boss, "Eff you... I'm not firing anyone on Christmas, you heartless SOB."
I'd have thrown in an extra $5k if you decked him/her, and would have covered your pro-bono lawyer court costs.
I'm glad to have Joe back, but Jeff seemed like a nice guy... too nice to get prison-raped by the system.
I just might have to go to Leonsis about this...
