When not busy penning classic stories like "Is Your Baby Gay?" Tyler has been the driving force behind Fresh Intelligence here on the Web. His commitment to the site has built and strengthened it to a point where we're pretty much panicked as to what we'll do without him. We'll probably manage somehow, but it won't be the same without his infectious energy and competitive spirit. For all he's brought to this institution, I like to think of him as the Radar Guy.
But Tyler can't be the Radar Guy anymore. That suit just doesn't fit, and this is the swan song set amid a transition from one life to another. Time to pass the torch. And, among other things, the difference between the new gig and the one he's giving up today is this: He won't be able to use Heidi Fleiss as a source quite as often.
Good luck and best wishes to Tyler, who will be sorely missed. Buy his book!
