Goodbye California
Last week I resigned from my position as Lead Designer at Ning, and as a result the visa allowing me to live in the United States will soon expire.

A quick blog entry to thank everybody for their good wishes over the last week, and to say that I’m enjoying being back in California.
This year has been eventful. To be more precise, 2006 has been a complete and utter write-off.
Once again, I’m in Austin for SXSW Interactive; the forth time I’ve attended an event I find easy to disparage. Yet this is the first stop on a trip that will take in several hundred miles of Interstate highway between here and San Francisco; two points of familiarity on an itinerary that promises to be anything but predictable.
For the final leg of my North American tour I transcended the West Coast on Amtrak’s Coast Starlight. Getting to San Francisco wouldn’t be much fun, boarding a coach in Vancouver at a ridiculous hour in the morning and dealing with an offensive US border guard before arriving at a closed King Street station in Seattle sounding its fire alarm.
