Just how many people have been sacked for writing weblogs?
While reading Dooce this morning I discovered that Heather B. Armstrong, the writer, had been sacked from a job for writing a weblog, which made me think, just how many people have been sacked for writing a weblog? I can think of Iain Murray, That Guy Who Photo'd Mac's at M$ (Michael Hanscom), Mark Pilgrim (or did he choose to leave?), and me.
From Twilight Invasion (thanks Mr Hanscom): Sarcastic Journalist, Banjo Jones, Gibberations, sassy little punkin, geekly, and Denis Horgan.
Thieves, sexual harrassers and webloggers - all sackable with immediate effect.

More!? OK then, but I can't help feeling that this will be a disappointment to you.
I work as a web designer in Belfast, and I live by the sea in a shoe. You can see me here, doing my livejournal pose as idoru called it. If you need to you can email me at carisenda -at- gmail -dot- com.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine

Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso

Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
i always assumed that the shared experience was part of the reason you linked to Dooce…
Nah, it was her razor wit and talent with the pixels that drew me in.
Twilight Invasion recently posted a list of people who’ve lost their jobs due to blogging. It seems to be going around, doesn’t it?
do you have any idea why kinja isn’t picking up your latest posts? You show up on my account as dormant…
Good question. I don’t know why that is, I’ve emailed Kinja to see if it’s a bug or something I need to change.
