I considered continuing to blog about my new job, either under a pseudonym (this one or a new one) or under my real name, kind of as a "what it's like to have this kind of job" blog. But after an introductory week in my new position, I am realizing that blogging about it would not be a good idea. The Center is brand-new, but it intends to become very high profile, and is already a target of some prominent groups with political influence. I'm not very good at keeping my mouth shut, as many of you who have figured out my identity are already aware. I can't even tell you what kind of Center this is, or where they get their funding, because there are so few of them and you could probably figure it out. And that's too bad, because it's pretty awesome!
The time has come to shut down this blog. I already started down that road - I don't know if anyone noticed, but over 600 posts have been deleted in the last few months. I am going to leave the blog itself up, but only with a kind of "greatest hits" set of posts.
If you are someone who I've gotten to know pseudonymously, and you would like to get to know me under my real name, please send me an email (drbrazenhussy at gmail).
I have very much enjoyed blogging as Dr. Brazen Hussy, and this blog has played a pretty important role in my life. I've gotten to know many of you in real life - some of my closest friends are people I have met through blogging. Writing here, getting feedback, and reading other people's blogs has been hugely important in helping me navigate the last five years of my career. I will still be around, reading and occasionally commenting, but I won't maintain a blog of my own any more.
So, goodbye, and thank you!
Love,
Dr. Brazen Hussy

Best of luck in your new endeavors... but you will be sincerely missed in the blogosphere!!
Definitely best of luck!
I'm glad you'll at least keep some part of the blog up. Because sometimes the look of an angry bird, and the subtitle "I mean, damn." just really makes my day.
I have loved reading your blog and I'll miss you. What's your email address?

So sad to see you go, but it is definitely understandable. Good luck with everything!
I'll miss reading the blog (even if I never commented that much I read a long time). I do understand the conflict though, and wish you the best in the future. Surely you might be found in the comment section every so often though?!
Good luck!!
I've also loved reading here, even if I haven't commented much. I understand exactly why you need to bring it to an end, but you'll be missed!
Good luck with your new endeavour!

Sorry to see you go. I have enjoyed reading your posts tremendously.
I am SO very sorry to hear you won't be blogging any more. I hope you will consider coming back for some non-work blogging, if nothing else. But I am thrilled for you, that you've found such a fabulous job. You certainly deserve it. Best of luck in your new position.
I'll miss you, but I get it completely. Best of luck in your new fantastic gig
You'll be missed.
Awww, sucky! I knew this day was coming, but dude, I'll still totally miss your blog! :( All the more reason for me to commence with the stalking! ;)
I'll miss your blog, but I'll watch your adventures elsewhere. (Hey--are you in Twitter?)
All of the above, and more. I've missed your posts, and will miss the blog. Thanks for doing it, and best of luck.
Good Luck!
Best of luck, Doc.
I've missed your posting, and am sorry it's the end of the era. May you and Pub/Arb have many happy eras ahead!
