I’m sad to announce that I will be leaving the X PRIZE Foundation, but extremely pleased to say that I will be taking the role of Community Director, New Media, at Warner Bros. Records.

For some time now, I have been wanting to move back to pursuing my passion of music. This job, then, is something of a godsend: it combines my love of music with my background in online communities. I cannot express how exciting this possibility is, an opportunity to really dig in to changing the way that artists and fans interact.

I’d like to send a special personal thank you to everyone at the X PRIZE Foundation who has made my past year and a half amazing. You are the lifeblood of this organization, and without you, the wheels would fall off. Keep on fighting the good fight.

And a huge thank you to everyone who helped me along the way. You are not the shoulders of giants. You are rockets under my feet.

Rock and roll

I know it’s a little old now, but I was recently interviewed for an article in the FAA’s Focus newsletter.  The five-part article is called Leaving Earth and the second part focuses on participatory space exploration, and how social media is transforming the landscape of private space.  The article also features my friend Dawn Brooke Owens.

You can read the whole article over at the FAA’s website.
