I have three news items to share with you tonight—one’s big, the other two are small and serve only to delay the big news in a dramatic way.
First of all, I saw three coyotes while I was out for my walk tonight. They were headed the other way just loping down the main street, Altadena Drive. They crossed to avoid me, though—I must be pretty bad ass.
Second, I went to a hockey game tonight—Kings lost against the St. Louis Blues—and had sushi. The fish was not bad, if a little pricey. I just love the idea of hockey sushi. It’s like ordering B.B.Q. ribs at high tea.
Third, and I’m confident you will be able to determine which of these three is the big news I promised, is that I’ve given notice at Variety.com, and my last day will be March 26 or thereabouts. I’ve finished being editor of Variety.com, and I’m going to become a full-time partner at Hop Studios with Susie.
I’m really, really happy about this, though I’m going to miss the great folks I worked with, and also a little nervous—people tell me that’s the way small business owners sometimes feel. Even though Hop Studios has landed several great new clients recently, clients that made it possible for me to take this exciting step, who knows what clients the future will bring.
So if you or someone you can manipulate easily needs Internet consulting, Web site development, group or individual training, or online business planning assistance… well, you know where to send ‘em.
And while Hop Studios calendar looks to be quite busy right now, I also hope that I’ll get the chance to lead a more social, relaxed life with updates regularly to this column and even a little, as we say in Hollywood, “face time.”
