    In defense of the naive New York transplant

    So this cute kid moves from the Midwest to New York City to work as an intern at Google. Wholesome Eric Hielscher starts a blog to track big-city revelations like "I see rats almost every day running around on the subway tracks" and "Ugh, what a pain in the butt it is finding an apartment in New York." Then Valleywag's sister blog, the bullyish Gawker, teases the poor boy and either buries the site in unexpected traffic or scares him into shutting it down himself. What a shame, it's really a cute blog (as is he, don't you think, ladies?). Thankfully, even though the blog won't show up normally, it's still in the Google cache. Or read Gawker's funny write-up! Oh my, Eric confused one neighborhood for another! Ha! Ha!
