I’m excited, and a bit sad, to announce the sale of Zen Habits to AOL.com.
Excited, because this is a new phase in the life of Zen Habits. With the financial backing of this media giant, we will finally be able to compete on a level playing ground with TechCrunch, Gizmodo and CNN.com. We’ll be hiring a team of recently unemployed journalists who are hungry and ready to take this blog to the next level.
That’s the good news. The part that leaves me a bit sad is that I’ll personally be transitioning out of the site over the next few days. The management at AOL has decided to hire an actual Zen Master and former CEO of the Zen media player to run this site, and I’m contractually obligated to show him my daily routine, especially my secret ad-selling formula.
Readers will be happy to know, though, that I will be taking the $25 million and investing it in a very large house in the southern coast of France, where I will be meditating most of the day with the help of margaritas and a new massive home theater.
Thank you all.
