Goodbye Rex?

Rumor? Fimoculous' Rex to move to WA to work for Microsoft on internet news technologies? Say it isn't so. Rex, thanks for everything you've given to Mpls and blogs in general.

I meant to say something here first, but I got scooped on my own announcement. If you're wondering, I'm confident we'll find a way to keep MNspeak going.

I think you have been saying it.. even an idiot like me can get the hint.

And let me be the first to say and speaking from experience, I really hope the pay is good because working for Microsoft is really, really, bad for the soul and creativity.

/cliche but true

Good luck to you my friend!

You leaving this site blows. Congrats anyway, and know that you'll be missed by people who don't even know you. Creepy and cool all at the same time!

By rex! G-r-e-a-t website and I hope it keeps going. Local news is hard to find in the Twin Cities and you've done a great job of bringing it all together and making it accessible. Best of luck at satan...I mean, Microsoft.

Congratulations Rex. New opportunities are always exciting.

I really hope this site can continue without you here. It's been the best local media site, and something we really needed.

I see WASpeak.com is available.
