Looking for Mods and Contributors - I Am Moving

I will most likely be leaving the Bay Area withing within two months. As that time approaches I'll likely be posting less articles as I focus on moving.

There have been zero issues to moderate here so far and do not expect that to change.

Post here if you are interested in being a mod.

(I'll post all the news sources I use later today.)

Technical stuff:

I use an RSS homepage which lets me see each site as a widget with each post as a headline. I hover over the headline and I can (usually) read the intro.
The homepage I use can parse several websites that other RSS readers cannot but it chokes on some.

I'm still around but busy.

Can't figure out how to unpin this right now but do not want to hide. Most of the sources are still good.
