A lot of people have been asking questions about this, so I'll try to create a FAQ:</p> <dl> <dt>Why are you moving?</dt> <dd> <dl> <dt>Short answer:</dt> <dd>I got a job at Yahoo!/Delicious</dd> <dt>Long answer:</dt> <dd> I work on the symfony project a framework that makes building quality web sites easier. I will be contributing to this project in a way that is beneficial to Yahoo!. Furthermore, Katie and I are looking for an adventure. Moving out of our home in Minneapolis and into a new part of the country will be a big adjustment for us. </dd> </dl> <dt>Where in California are you moving?</dt> <dd>We are moving to the San Francisco Bay area. We will find a place when we arrive. We will likely be in Mountain View or if we can find some place affordable, the City of San Francisco. </dd> <dt>When are you moving?</dt> <dd>We are moving in early November. I start my job in mid-November.</dd> <dt>That's really soon?</dt> <dd>Yes! I know!</dd> <dt>What will you do with your house?</dt> <dd>We own a duplex, we'll rent out the half we live in. We're also finishing up our attic as I type. Initially our good friends Marc and Sadie will live here. </dd> <dt>What about your cats?</dt> <dd>We are not sure. They will eventually join us in California, but we are not sure if they will come with us right away in November, or later. </dd> <dt>You're going to have a going away party?</dt> <dd>Of course, just email me</dd> <dt>What about your car/bikes?</dt> <dd> Car is being shipped to CA. We bike a lot and intend to do so in California, so we'll be moving our bikes as well. </dd> <dt>Are you excited?</dt> <dd>Yes.</dd> <dt>What is Katie going to do?</dt> <dd> We will be getting an apartment that has a pool. I can only imagine she will spend her days making daiquiris sitting by the pool. </dd> </dl>
