I’m very happy to announce I’ve taken a position at Comcast as a software engineer. This could have been told a couple weeks ago, but I’m always respectful about sharing work matters and will continue to be so.
I can say, at least, that I’ve learned more in the past two weeks then I have in the past year and a half at Philly.com. Which is a shame really. I’m going to miss everyone, and will continue to be rooting for the journalists who, in the end, make everything happen there.

Saying my prayers for those affected by power outage. We have not been hit here in Philly. To have a single point of failure effect so many people is unacceptable and frightening.

via the new dangerousmeta!. Now looking good sporting MovableType. Man oh man I wish I could bring my links back down to one page like that!
Swiss Cheese? Kerry continues to unimpress.
And hey – Whiz is overrated! If you come to Philly and that is too much, try Provolone or American ok? No one will look at you cross-eyed. Promise.
Good News! Looks like Retired Gen. Wesley Clark is preparing to run!
