Ask the Little Bald Bastard

Blogiverse Death Watch:
  The excellent blog Table Of Malcontents is circling the drain of Interweb commercial concerns. According to contributor Eliza Gauger (see last item), parent site Wired.com will pull the plug on the Malcontents on June 30. Although there's been no official statement, one suspects that the bean counters at Wired saw the audience of deviant steampunk cephalophiles as too niche to cram into a standard demographic advertising model.

  There are a kajillion sites dedicated to sifting through celebrity stool samples, spouting political invective, or speculating on plot details gleaned from a blurry photo of the craft services table on the set of the latest Batman movie. It's telling that even a company like Wired, which purports to cater to the tech/geek/net crowd, can't make some room in its budget to provide interesting, unusual Interweb diversion for those of who don't want to hang with the mouthbreathing knuckledraggers at PerezHilton.com.
