When this blog-off began, PJ was a recently-unemployed ex-intern and I was an underemployed web writer and magazine intern. Then, yesterday, PJ announced that he had landed a probationary radio gig. And today, I landed respectable quasi-employment at a magazine. How different we are from a week ago! I can’t go into detail now, but this must be said: if PJ and I are any indication, blog-offs indirectly lead to employment. Cautious optimism for all.
So ends my final blog-off post. I leave you with a confession: I still haven’t heard Merriweather Post Pavilion.

Congratulations, Mr. Nelles on your blog off win and quasi-employ. I will share, however, that my own coverage of your petty blog war has left me woefully unemployed.
