Puffy. I like Tim's writing, but only when he has something to say. Recent submissions of his to HN have not fallen into this category.

Ummm, doesn't he have something to say in this one, e.g. he's the new editor of the blog? And the usual things that go with such an announcement (what it is, where it's been and where it's going)?

It might be just me, but a veteran blogger blogging about blogging on a new blog just doesn't tip the news-o-meter for me.

It does for me solely because he's the official Android blog editor. The official and Android parts of that are perhaps somewhat interesting to the extent you find the Android project interesting.

Maybe not very interesting, and as news it's indeed fairly mundane; perhaps only the ending where it talks about the first upcoming article is news of a sort.

I offered this opinion internally, loudly and repeatedly, and Android management surprised me by coming back with “OK, it’s your problem now.”

If you haven't seen this tactic before, it's worth keeping in mind (from either side ;-)
