And Now It's Pretty Too
Okay, we had our launch fun. Now The Wirecutter, our always-updated guide to the best tech available, is also pretty to look at.
Please Welcome....
The Awl is pleased to announce the hiring of John Shankman as publisher of The Awl, The Hairpin and Splitsider. READ MORE
The Awl Turns Two
Oh, so, yeah, hey, The Awl turns two today. We've got big plans for the next year and beyond, but right at this moment we'd like to take the time to acknowledge everyone out there who has contributed, offered words of encouragement, or mentioned the site to a friend. (We would also like to take the time to take a nap, because we have felt every minute of these two years, but that's probably not part of the deal.) We could not have done it without you, and we appreciate that. Thanks.
In Case You Are Not A Fan Of Sleeping.
Starting at 2am EST, commenting (and posting) will be disabled for a few hours, possibly through the morning, while we do some server work on this site (and its two sister sites). Sorry for the inconvenience!
Tiny Tiny Changes Happen to Website
Some wee changes have occurred here overnight! Upgrades and things. We may be a little bit dodgy this morning. Send us your bug reports if you like (include browser and operating system and pictures if you can)!
Two Click Minimum: Splitsider Is Here
And here we go... Ladies and gentlemen, Splitsider is live. Adam Frucci's new site-the first addition to what Publisher David Cho refers to as "The Awl Network"-is about comedy, comedians and all things funny in the age of the Internet, and it will appeal to anyone who has ever laughed at anything ever. It's a fine product and we'd be most pleased if you made a few visits, added it to your RSS, told your friends... you know, the whole bit. Thanks! See you there!
The Awl In Your Internet Mailbox!
Remember last year (seriously, the last one was in June of 2009) when we were sending out an e-mail newsletter that delivered all sorts of tidbits from Choire and Alex's brains into your inboxes (and hearts)? Well, a few months later than we promised we would, we're doing the newsletter things once again! Just go here and sign up for our mailing list to read their musings on all sorts of fun topics! We've already done two this week! One about 'zines and the other about wives!
Keep Those Comments Coming
At some point within the next day or two one of you will take issue with/register your praise of/make a completely unrelated point to a post on this website and hit "submit comment." Assuming it is not spam and is immediately approved, it will be the Awl's 100,000th such response. That's right, kids, we are rapidly approaching our 100,000th comment, and we could not be more excited. READ MORE
Looks Like Our Server's Mostly Back!
Oh yay, our server is (mostly, sorta) back (on the mend at least), so now you can all go back to fighting about Arizona/racism and Rivers Cuomo/ladyism.
