Friendly reminder to the over 5,000 people who still inexplicably follow this very dead account, I've left this hellhole.

I reviewed the new Moog Muse for @WIRED
Somehow it manages to feel like a pretty decent bang for your buck despite the $3,500 price tag.

My review for MusicTech is live!
With the PolyBrute 12, Arturia addressed some issues with the original and, in the process may, have built the most powerful analogue synthesizer of the modern age.
But there is one BIG hurdle for Arturia to overcome… musictech.com/reviews/hardwa…

Considering the going rate for most media jobs these days and the cost of living in NYC, might need to consider a 2nd career change.

Richard is an incredible person that someone is going to be lucky enough to work with.
His long tenure is further proof that what we built at Engadget was special. It was a place people wanted to work. Where people could grow as writers and felt cared for as humans. I know that @AaronIsSocial , @CherlynnLow and @valentinalucia will continue to fight the good fight

Dana has been a rock for me for many years. And any of you would be lucky to work with her.
Some personal news: tomorrow is my last day at Engadget, and the last day for nine of my colleagues. My teammates have been the reason I've stayed with Engadget for 13 years. They are my friends, my family, and I will miss them dearly. It has been a marvelous run.

Coming out of Twitter retirement to share some personal news:
Tomorrow will be my last day at @engadget.
The site and the amazing people I've had the privilege to work with there have been a big part of my life for the last 13 years and I will miss them all.
