As suggested by some I’m starting a new blog. I prefer communities to lonely things such as one man blogs, especially if the latter have long periods of inactivity. Originally discussed here.
Some problems have been noted by severalusers on discussing topics from a perspective rather interesting to me on LessWrong. I don’t think this is likely to be a better venue for them in the future and has been degrading in this regard for several months, so we’ve decided to discuss them elsewhere. It still is a great site for some other topics and I may hang around for this, I don’t want to be a splitter though we will probably have blackjack and hookers. LWers having blogs elsewhere is a good thing!
So far ErikM, nyan_sandwich, Athrelon, paper-machine, KarmaKaiser and MichaelAnissimov as well as several other LWers have said they would like to join as co-authors. If anyone else is interested please respond to this post or PM me your email adress? Details on the new blog will be discussed via email.
I don’t have a good idea for a name yet, so I’d very much appreciate any suggestions. :)
I think it would be a good idea to cross post or link to your blog posts in Discussion, at least until people like myself get a feel for whether this blog is something we want to follow on its own. I don’t know if there are strong community pressures against making posts that are just links to your own blog, though.

I don’t think there are any such community pressures, as long as a summary accompanies the link.
I also wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
You’re still in the 2012 thread.
Edit: No, wait, this is apparently posted in 2013 but labeled 2012. Bah.
