Everybody needs a vacation

The Baltimore Brew is breaking the first rule of digital journalism, which says never go dark. You must post, post, post always to satisfy the surfing hordes who will forsake you in a second if there is no new content to amuse them. Blogs are the new radio, in which "dead air" is the biggest mistake. But the Brew is going on vacation.

No tweets from the beach. No posts from a Vermont Starbucks, presumably. Just vacation. Good for them.
