The new “personal blog” of Michael Arrington has finally been unveiled. Today we get access to UNCRUNCHED – actually he launched on Friday the 23rd, but there was only the post title “Here I Am” and that garnered him 497 comments. Obviously Arrington has juice and we are very interested to see what is next for the technology pundit and startup investor.

Go check out the new blog at uncrunched.com

Oh, and if you like the WordPress theme Arrington is using, you can check it out here, in the WordPress theme repository (get the Chunk theme)

Recently posted on the site is an official looking post stating that…

“The TechCrunch acquisition has been a success for AOL and for our shareholders, and we are very excited about its future. Michael Arrington, the founder of TechCrunch has decided to move on from TechCrunch and AOL to his newly formed venture fund. Michael is a world-class entrepreneur and we look forward to supporting his new endeavor through our investment in his venture fund. Erick Schonfeld has been named the editor of TechCrunch. TechCrunch will be expanding its editorial leadership in the coming months.”

Many of us could feel that, even before Arrington started his new venture fund, that the relationship with big brother AOL wasn’t going to fly for long with the polarizing personalities.

Mike – good luck man. You’ve always been interesting to read and hear speak at conferences. I’m certain we’ll see you at a Ted or Ignite Conference somewhere in the future.

More details may be posted throughout the day on TechCrunch.

Here’s the deal – Dani Dudeck is the Vice President of global Corporate Communications (key word communications) at MySpace.

Recently, Michael Arrington of TechCrunch attempted to do an interview with her. Arrington started the conversation with a new “rule around TechCrunch” and pretty much started chastising Dani. Well, she wasn’t trying to hear any of that. Check out the brief video.

I love me some Dani D.
