kthread spins: these vagabond shoes

I’m moving to New York for an incredible new job with PopTech, a network of social innovators I am excited to join as their Digital Content and Community Manager in Brooklyn, NY starting at the end of June.

In the meantime, I am delighted to announce I’ll be part of the Knight Foundation gathering of News Challenge winners at MIT next week premiering the second phase of Knight Pulse (just wait until you see the visualization piece!) as my last hurrah before transitioning to wonderful new things in Brooklyn. More soon here about this wild Miami year, but for now,

I’ll be updating Twitter as I roadtrip in the next few days from Miami to Brooklyn. Here’s what I’m listening to as I drive… (and would love to hear from you in the comments; truly, the music sounds better with you)—
