I feel weirdly guilty about posting this: it's fundamentally a recommendation that you go enjoy some writing that wouldn't exist if not for a wonderful guy's terrible misfortune. But I'll pass it along anyway, for those few of you who read this site but not unfogged.

Ogged stopped blogging a while ago to focus on real life. We were all sad to see him go — aside from being a nice guy and the internet's foremost expert at facilitating highminded conversations about lowbrow topics, he's got a writing style that's elegantly spare, tightly constructed and extremely clever. His cobloggers and replacements have done a great job since he left — but Ogged is Ogged, and I and a lot of other folks missed him.

Well, the good news is that he's writing again. The bad news is that he's writing about his illness.

But I suppose there's not much to be done except to try to avoid embarrassing the guy by feeling guilty for enjoying his work. So head on over to his new site, read some great blogging, and add to the tidal wave of good thoughts that's headed his way.
