Brad DeLong has renamed his blog, formerly "J. Bradford DeLong's Grasping Reality with Both Hands," to "J. Bradford DeLong's Grasping Reality with All Eight Tentacles". This is excellent: the conversion process has begun, and the teuthid clan still outnumber him by two.
Other blog makeovers to anticipate: I Can Has Cheezburger will be renamed to "I Can Has Crustacean" and will go to an all-cute-invertebrate format, BoingBoing will revamp as "SquishSquish," and Perez Hilton will focus on the most garish chromatophore displays by celebrity cephalopods.
There is much to look forward to in our bright molluscan future.
