Folks, After over a decade of living and working in Washington, DC, I'm finally moving to the west coast. Unless something unexpected happens, I'll relocate to San Francisco around August 1 and live in the city itself. I'll continue to write about politics and technology for CNET but expand my coverage to include elements of computer science and aerospace -- two areas that I've been interested in for 20 years but have never had a chance to write about professionally. It's been a long run for me as a Washingtonian (how long before one qualifies as a native, anyway?). I arrived for temporary stints in 1991 and 1995 and returned for the long haul in 1996. In hindsight, that was far too long to live in this town. For those of you who have the dubious pleasure of remaining in the DC area, I feel a little like what J.R.R. Tolkien had Bilbo say: "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." I'd be delighted to meet up with Politechnicals once I'm on the left coast and get tips on what to do, where to live that's also near the 280, and so on. Are there any local mailing lists worth joining? What sites are there to see when driving approximately 2,507 miles on I-80? Should we have a Politech gathering in SF this fall? -Declan _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
