If you've been following the bumpy start of Open Source Media, you are likely aware of the problems they had with their name following an announcement of receiving $3.5 million in venture capital. After admitting their error and changing their name back to "Pajamas Media," it was relentlessly lampooned in the blogosphere over the choice of a cartoon bathrobe as a logo for "Pajamas." Their own editorial board was critical of the way things were being run. Now comes the loss of an editorial board member, Tim Blair.

As of yesterday, Pajama Media’s editorial board is missing one member.

Me.

Simple decision, really. PM needs people who can devote themselves full-time to rescuing the project after a launch that was, to say the least, problematic. It would be wrong for me to continue any involvement without being able to help to that extent. Hopefully PM will turn things around; I’d love to see it succeed.
