We've got new (and un-new) blogger-fishies in this 'bowl, making it high time introductions were made so you can start tipping them like there's no tomorrow. Also, we're now open for your comments. So much to discuss!

First, please join us in welcoming Glynnis MacNicol to the fold. Our newest FBNY co-editor is no stranger to the media's outsized corner of the blogosphere — specifically...

It's always tough to write a goodbye post.

When I started here eight months ago, the big media news was Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal. Kurt Eichenwald was still in the news. Tyler Brule had just launched Monocle. Then, of course, we even ended up on The Colbert Report.

But enough with the damn flashbacks. Let's just say that the months following have been some of the most exciting, journalism-wise, of my life.

Nonetheless, it's time for me to move on. So here goes... Seriously, I just want to thank all of you for reading. Thanks to everyone who wrote in with tips and, in some cases, commentary of staggering genius. Thanks to Ron Mwangaguhunga for co-editing with me. Thanks to my fellow Mediabistro bloggers and editors for being a killer crew to work with. Thanks to Chris Ariens, Noah Davis and Rebecca Fox for being Mediabistro demigods above and beyond the call of duty. Most of all - cheers to Dylan Stableford and Laurel Touby for taking a chance on me in the first place.

As for me, I'll be working on some new projects. I can still be found on the web at my personal site and at nealnyc AT gmail.com, if the need to contact me arises. And, please, be nice to the new editors.

In short: Thanks for making FishbowlNY a pleasure. See you around.

Then prove it: We're hiring.

If your appetite for news-breaking and scoop-making is insatiable; if your writing and reporting skills are impeccable; if you're fearless when it comes to approaching industry players at the myriad media events you frequent; if you've got an address book full of contacts whose names make headlines, then we want to hear from you. Apply here.

We got sick of watching the Knicks play joyless, souless, uninspired basketball, so we decided to start our own league at PS 134 on the Lower East Side. The league kicks off March 4th and will run every Tuesday night until May 27th. For the low price of $185 ($165 for AvantGuild members), you'll get nine or 10 games, plus playoffs, refs, a sweet jersey and much more. Consider it money well spent. At the very least, it's better than dishing out that much to watch Isiah and his clowns.

Our brother sites got a new look too: Both FishbowlDC and FishbowlLA got makeovers as well.

It's late Wednesday afternoon, the airports are packed and the Turnpike is starting to fill up with traffic. As for this editor, he's looking forward to hopping on the Q train tomorrow to Midwood for a Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings with the family.

FishbowlNY will be taking Thursday and Friday off, but we will report on breaking media news during this extended weekend as well.

We're going to skip the snark and the humor and just say: Have a damn good holiday, however you may celebrate it.

See you on Monday.

This is a reminder to send in your entries for FishbowlNY's media cubicle contest. We'll be choosing winners in just a few weeks for the best-looking, most depressing and most unique cubicles in NYC-area media. Don't you want to show off your Zac Efron collage to the whole world?

Work in the media industry? FBNY wants to see your cubicles (or, y'know, desks).

Recently we came across a contest our friends at wired.com held to find the saddest cubicles in America.

But we're optimists.

What we want to see are our readers' cubicles and/or desks. Because, in a month, we're giving away the FBNY Cubicle Awards. We're on a God-given mission to find the best-looking, most depressing and most unique cubicles in the media industry.

If you win, you don't get anything but our sincere appreciation. And the chance to tell a good story at happy hour to your co-workers.

Just send us a picture of your office, along with your name, your position and the company you work for, to fishbowlny@mediabistro.com.

Of course, you can also e-mail us anonymously as well. So if a throwaway Gmail/Hotmail address is your sort of thing... Hey, that's simpatico. But it's less fun that way.

Winners will be announced on Monday, December 17.
