Congrats! To add onto your disclaimer points – being a researcher might also empowers you to articulate the needs of openness and why it vital to remain competitive for big corps like M$.

Have fun!

Congratulations! Wow, what a great place for you — and what a great opportunity for Microsoft. I got to work a little bit with Jennifer, Christian, and Butler when I was at MSR and know most of the others by reputation … adding you to the mix along with them, and it’s hard to imagine what’s next. Exciting!!!!!

Congratulations on the position. And FINISH YOUR THESIS. The last days seemed to be the hardest. But my wife and I have a funny story about my absolute last day of writing (an all-nighter) being just before Valentine’s Day and I hadn’t bought anything yet.

And i am sure the East Coast will enjoy your presence. I’ve been enjoying Boston so far.

Congratulations danah! I personally love Cambridge and hope you enjoy your time there. MSR in MA sounds pretty exciting. There’s great talent in the Boston area, so I’m happy to hear Microsoft will be expanding their presence there and you’ll be a part of it. Say hi to Tommy Heinson at Healthpoint, a random nice benefit of being there

congratulations danah. @kevinmarks has been positively with child for us to meet sometime, and i know you’re beyond busy. so perhaps being in the same city will boost our chances of crossing paths. sounds like a wonderful and well-deserved connection for you.
