I will most likely be leaving the Bay Area withing within two months. As that time approaches I'll likely be posting less articles as I focus on moving.

There have been zero issues to moderate here so far and do not expect that to change.

Post here if you are interested in being a mod.

(I'll post all the news sources I use later today.)
