Hello?
Is this microphone on?
Not quite five years to the day since Pittsblog debuted for the first time, and a little more than three months since I wrapped it up and put it in a box, Pittsblog will be coming back. Call it Pittsblog 2.0, to go with Pittsburgh 2.0 and related things once noted here.
The Burghosphere is not what it once was, even three months ago. So many have left, and others have joined. The links will need to be updated (or "the links need updated," if you speak Pittsburgh-ese.). More important, I'm persuaded that the day of the single-voice-blogging is passing. Pittsblog 2.0 will be a little different than its predecessor.
Stay tuned, and have a warm and safe holiday.

About Pittsblog
Updated September 2020:
Pittsblog 2.0 was written by Mike Madison, a law professor at the University of Pittsburgh, from January 2004 through December 2011.
Since then, Pittsburgh-themed essays have appeared from time to time at madisonian.net, on law and technology, and in some of Pittsburgh's classier professional media venues.
Chris Briem of Null Space drops by Pittsblog from time to time.
All opinions expressed at Pittsblog 2.0 are those of their respective authors and of no one (and no thing) else, least of all the University of Pittsburgh.
Pittsblog 2.0 has a motto: "It's steel good in Pittsburgh." Say it aloud, with a Pittsburgh accent.

yea! welcome back!
Welcome back!
Now that's what I'm talkin' about!
Welcome back, Mike. :)
Yeah Mad Dogg! How about we start off the new year with another 45 comment post on brain drain and H1b visas? That was a classic! ;)
Welcome back Mike! (We knew you couldn't stay away for long)
This is very good news. Excellent.
Wow. Just as I'm about to write off blogging completely.... I don't look at my feed reader for weeks, and when I decide to take a peek, look what's there. I guess I'll have to stay tuned.
Mike,
Welcome home.
Sue
Good to see you again. Your presence was sorely missed.
This is some very, very good news. Welcome back! Coffee's in the pot down the hall.
