Please join me in sending off Sean Lovelace. He’s leaving to become a contributor at Html Giant. His zany, provocative posts will be missed here at Big Other, but definitely continue to follow him, wherever he goes.

Confess, John. You gave Sean the ax.
Also, I think we should have a street fight with HTMLGIANT. They took one of ours, now they owe us one of theirs.
Seriously.
Street fight? No, I think we’d lose. Did you see the stuff hurled during their “mean week”? A public debate, on the other hand…
c’mon, john you’ve got me, i’m much better with physical punches than scoring debate points
I don’t know, I’d have to see the proposed pairings.
have a little faith, john!
Seriously though, Sean brings so much to the table and I’m excited to see how he livens things up there.
Ah! Sorry to see you go, Sean. Happy trails.
Shya, let’s kidnap Justin Call.
Justin Taylor or Ryan Call?
half of each
I meant the both of them together.
…No, actually, I guess I couldn’t decide. But both!
sorry to see you leave, man!
Definitely excited to see what he brings to the Giant. You guys should snag Adam.
Thanks for the kindness/fairness.
Both sites rock it, and I have a Ken Sparling interview coming to Other that will drill your brain like fish socks.
mad dog at html
drink
Ken Sparling! I’ll look forward to that.
My dad says he saw you at the mall, Sean. He says you look funny.
What the? I sleep too much. I think there’s a carbon monoxide leak in my apartment.
Seeeeyaaaaaaaa.
I mean, good luck.
With love.
I do look funny.
