So, here’s something depressing: Radar crunched some numbers on what Gawker Media is paying its bloggers after a recent pay cut, and the money those potty-penned kids bring in might surprise you. In fact, I’m not sure what’s more depressing: that Gawker bloggers get paid so much, or that there’s so much moaning over how little Gawker bloggers are now getting paid.

TechCrunch has officially declared voicemail dead, despite the howls of protest in the post’s comments. I think Arrington might have called (ha!) this one a bit too soon, but whether or not it’s dead for TC readers, it’s def dead for me. They take too long to listen to, and my phone does a terrible job of letting me know when I have missed calls or voice messages. So every two weeks or so, I remember that I have a VM box and I clean out whatever’s in there. Send me an email and I’ll usually respond within moments. With a text, it might take an hour. With a voicemail, expect two weeks.

To quote Mr. Arrington: “Voicemail is dead. Please tell everyone so they’ll stop using it.”

Corinne made this last night, from a recipe she found on The Pioneer Woman, and it was awesome. That is all.
