@EricCMack @CNET Wow, Eric. End of an era. Your CNET work was inspiring and thoughtful at every step. My favorites have been when science and tech converged with your personal experiences. The off-grid series. The New Mexico wildfires. Epic.

Yesterday my relationship with @CNET was officially terminated after more than 14 years. The article count says 2300, but it's actually more than 3,000. 10,000 hours and then some. There's even a sci-fi novel in there. Most of the work I'm most proud of was published by this vaunted brand that inspired me to work in tech in my teens, most of it made better by the steady hand, compassion and wisdom of @lesatnews. Many great memories working with @pages_and_pages @akooser @stephenbeacham @bonniegrrl @blok_andrew and many, many others. Thanks for the ride and all the fish. You all know where to find me.

Oh! Another random question for a thing I'm writing for Country Living Magazine: Have you ever given your car a name? If so, what was it?

@shantr0n That sounds pretty great. Recipe?

@gretchenfilart So many good ones! @StanchionZine is a gem for thoughtful responses. @ChestnutReview is kind and supportive.

Writers, what are your favorite mags or journals to submit to? And why?
