Gawker Media gets even nerdier

io9.jpgScience-fiction blog io9.com is the latest venture from blog mogul Nick Denton, whose skull does indeed resemble that of an alien. Here's what io9 covers, according to the tag thingies at the top:

SCIFI BOOKS MOVIES SCIENCE SCIENCE FICTION SPACE PORN PHOTOGRAPHY

I like at least two of those. It's okay that it's so geeky, because at least half of the bloggers are [gulps, pulls collar away from neck] goils.

BTW, the title comes from something Denton's bloggers are known to mumble at the start of their day: "There's one post down; I owe nine more this morning!"

Whoa, this looks pretty sweet-ass.

One of his own bloggers once described Denton as "generously-becraniumed."

I think he's the profitable genius behind a form that was never destined to be profitable... But he makes money. The boy has a nose for talent at a price, and that's a special gift.

For snarky shitwits of a certain age, this my be the finest blog post of all time.
