1.	Later today I will lock the door on my residence of eleven years, having sold out, I will get into my car and drive to Boston where I will start a new thread in my life. I wanted to return to the east coast after spending most of the end of last year helping care for my father whose health was failing. He survived, miraculously, and on Wednesday he's going home, with his mind and body intact. And today I'm heading east, and in many ways it feels like a return to home.
2.	The Internet shrinks geographic distances. I will be doing weblogs at Harvard University and sharing what I learn. I will continue to develop and evangelize XML-RPC, SOAP, RSS, OPML, the MetaWeblog API; from a new context, academia. I will also be writing software and continue to write my own weblog at scripting.com.
3.	Thanks to California for being my gracious host for twenty-three years. Personal Software, Apple Computer, Living Videotext, Symantec, Kleiner-Perkins, Wired, Netscape, Bucks Woodside, thanks to all my platforms.
4.	I leave a richer man than when I came here so long ago.
5.	And like MacArthur, I will return.
6.	Dave Winer
7.	PS: Seeya in Boston!
