You all have heard of the layoffs at Microsoft. And now I’ll put a human face to it and tell you that I was one whose unlucky number was called. I’m off to bigger and better adventures.
I’ll miss doing the shows with John and Robey. I’m sure they’ll find a great replacement for me and the show will go on.
So keep listening, keep playing games, and hoist a hot pocket for a homie.
Peace out, folks.

Hey, Jeff might already know this but I was going through the Bungie site and noticed that they are hiring for a SDET position. If he know that already then I hope he can land that job then. If not, then let him know.
Once again good luck, and we’ll miss you
