California, here I come
I seem to be constitutionally incapble of avoiding that subject line. Sigh. I apologise.
In any case, it’s official. I’m moving to California in less than two weeks’ time.
I put off mentioning it here in some sort of fit of superstition. I didn’t want to jinx it. But back in November I received a job offer from Metaweb, Inc to become the Community Director for Freebase. I accepted, and the visa paperwork began. Yesterday my visa was approved, and now the tickets are booked. I fly out on January 15th.
The job is based in San Francisco in the SOMA district, and I’ll initially be staying with friends in the Mission til I find a share house to move into. Plus I’ll get to travel to conferences, so I’m hoping to get to see a bit of the US and the world.
Right now I’m in the throes of packing everything I own into boxes and saying goodbye to people in Australia. Life is crazy but good.

Congratulations!
The US is a slightly nutty place, but the vast majority of people you’ll meet are wonderful.

Hey, I think we’ll be working with you! Jason informed me that our next move was on hold until you arrive. Safe travels and the best for settling in. I’m looking forward to meeting you once you’re in front of the new desk.

Mira, cool! I’ll look forward to meeting you.
Hey, welcome to California! :D It’s hideously expensive, especially in the SF Bay Area, but it’s a great place for having pretty much anything you want to buy or do within easy reach.
