Apologies for the impromptu hiatus - I’ve been plugging away on the newest project, slogging through the primordial cyber-ooze of HTML and various web lexicon. As reported here and here and here, Freakonomics.com has been revamped, republished and incorporated into the New York Times web site, making us an official NYTimes.com blog (and me an official … something). Who says you can’t sneak in the back door of the paper of record — though, depending on how you look at it, I’ve essentially ended up where I started: hunched at a desk in a Midtown high rise, watching the night tick by under retina-searing fluorescent lights. But at least now I can wear jeans. And have visible tattoos (not that I have the balls to get one — but I conceivably could).
So come check out the new site — we promise loads of fascinating content. And plenty of deviant fruit imagery. What more could anyone want?
