With a heavy heart, I write today to say goodbye to Stuff You Missed in History Class and HowStuffWorks.com. I’ll be moving away from the Atlanta area, and unfortunately that means leaving the podcast and blog behind. I feel incredibly lucky to have been part of such a great organization where I get to learn so much by studying interesting subjects every week.

It’s been a joy getting to work with Candace as well as the rest of the team here, who have always been supportive. I’m also indebted to the fans of the podcast, who have sent such positive and helpful feedback. Needless to say, Josh is a tough act to follow, but I’m grateful to our fans who’ve been so accepting of my joining.

I look forward to opportunities to continue writing for the Web site in the future, but for now, I’ll leave you with a smattering of some of my favorite blog posts and articles I’ve written…

One of the things I know people like about Twitter is that some famous people have started using it too. While some may not care if their co-worker is walking her dog, they might be interested to read a Twitter message from Paris Hilton walking her dog. Or paying someone to walk it, perhaps.

There’s even been some recent news about star athletes using Twitter — Charlie Villanueva, a forward for the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, made news for posting to Twitter during halftime of a game on March 15, AP writer Chris Jenkins wrote a few days later. Villanueva was later asked by his team to refrain from using the service during games. Howard Beck of The New York Times reported that Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O’Neal recently started using Twitter after a 33-year-old fan named Ward Andrews was discovered impersonating O’Neal.
