On Monday, my family and I will be moving to Seattle. I'm taking a position with Microsoft's Live Labs. I'm really excited by this new opportunity and very much looking forward to starting life in Seattle. I'd been thinking for a while about how to break this news on my blog. Right now, I've just finished cleaning up our house after a small party to say farewell to friends, so I'm going to leave this post short. Posting will probably be light for about a week.

Congratulations on the new job - the Microsoft Live Labs are definately going to be a great place to work over the next few years.
Hopefully you still have time, and the ability to keep this blog up and running - it has been one of my favourite reads for a while now.

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest! Hope your move is a smooth one. If you like asian food, might I recommend a little place called Regent Bakery and Cafe. It's near the main MS campus. If you'd like other recommendations feel free to email me!

Congratulations Matt.
As far as blogging is concerned, you will have less freedom and so we will probably get less of your rich stuff... but however we will certainly get lots of useful information anyway.
Bon courage, bonne chance et bon vent!
