Matt, Garreth, Trinity, & I are moving to San Francisco!
Our goal is to be there for May, though we still have a ton of details to figure out. We’re hunting for a new place while working to purchase our house of 11 years of accumulated junk. Our plan is to keep the house in Francestown and rent it out (if you know anyone cool & reliable looking to rent, let me know!)
As you may know, I’ve been working for salesforce.com for over a year now. When I first joined, it was a 1-year transitional role, so it made sense for me to keep working from NH. By the end of 2011 I had officially transitioned into a new role as the Data.com Social Media Marketing Manager. Now it’s become more important for me to physically be working at headquarters in San Francisco (plus it will mean I get to work closely with some pretty amazing people!) And it’s beautiful! (I took that pic above working on a 7th floor patio at one of our offices there)
I’ll admit thinking about it is overwhelming, though it’s exciting to be shaking things up like this. I’ll keep you updated as we go through this process!
Please wish us luck as we start a new chapter of our lives with a grand adventure!

Before we bought our house, we worked really hard to reduce the amount of “stuff” in our lives. Over the past 11 years, we’ve accumulated too much stuff again. I tend to hoard books, so I’ve switched to buying digital ebooks instead, but that still leaves me books to share with you.
Take a look at the list of books. If you’re in the MA/NH area (or you’re such a super-awesome friend I’ll feel I just *have* mail you that pretty little book you’ve always wanted) just let me know which book(s) you want.
The best part is, this is only a partial list. I’ll let you know when I have time to inventory more.
Any books not given away by July 1 will go to the swap area at my recycling center.

Well, it’s Thanksgiving morning, 2009. Heading out in a few to spend the day with family, but I wanted to take a minute to say Thanks!
Just before last Thanksgiving, I was fortunate enough to start a new job. Thanks to Steve Chazin, I have had the pleasure of working as Community Manager for Dimdim — after so many years using web conferencing, it’s cool to be able to share free web conferencing. Thanks to Leslie Poston, because of her I’ve had the opportunity to help out with Social Media Breakfast NH and PodCamp NH.
I’m thankful for my family and friends. This year was a challenge with two of our favorite moms going in for surgery. They’re both doing well, which is all I can ask for. Luckily everyone else’s health seems good.
I finally had a chance to make it to Dallas, TX this year to see my little brother (he’s lived there 10 years. I know, it makes me a bad older brother.) There are many friends I haven’t had a chance to see this year, but thanks to Facebook and other services, I’ve at least been able to keep up with their lives a little.
So as you “gobble gobble” this year, even if I haven’t thanked you by name, know that I am grateful for having you in my life.
Have a happy & safe Thanksgiving!
