Last Day at b5media
Posted by Cottontimer on 30 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Problogging
Today is my last day working for b5media as a writer and editor of the Science and Health Channel. I’m leaving to focus on genetics, the love of my intellectual life.
The last 18 months at b5media have been an unforgettable experience. I’ve learned so much not only about the Web and social media but also gained some insights into myself and my expectations for work and career. I thought I’d be able to do a deep analysis of what it’s been like to work for a “global new media company,” but I think that will have to wait. I’m totally worn out from saying good-bye to everyone even though they all know I’ll continue to be b5media’s #1 fan and stalker!
Here are the public posts about my resignation from b5media:
-
Changes and Goodbyes at the main b5media blog. Thank you, Shai, for the wonderful post.
-
See You at Eye on DNA at Genetics and Health
-
A Hearty Transplant at A Hearty Life
-
Last Playdate at Play Library
Today, I also officially launch my new genetics blog - Eye on DNA. I added the feed to the sidebar last week. Please come by and help me break the place in!
Thank you all for supporting my past endeavors at b5media. And thank you most of all to everyone at b5. Thank you for your friendship and encouragement. You gave me a way to share my love of science and health. I will always be grateful.

Good luck with your new venture, Hsien. I’ve long been an admirer of your work. b5 will miss you.
You made me cry
I may never forgive you for that 
Thanks for everything Hsien! You gave me my start at B5 and I am very grateful.
I will still visit you here and wish you all the best.
Awwwwww…I’d say “say it ain’t so” but I guess it really is. I wish you all the best in everything you do
I’m sure b5 is a sad place today, you’re a great writer and I know they’re sad to lose you. Good luck with your DNA blog. Were I smarter I’d follow it LOL but I have a hard time following anything to do with science. I’ll have to keep track of you here I guess
Doesn’t matter how many times I hear it or read it. I still don’t like it. I wish you the best, but you will be greatly missed.
John: How nice to see you here! Thank you very much for your kind words. It’s scary to leave the comfort of b5 but taking risks is key to personal growth. Eek!
Jeremy: I’ll try not to pinch too hard next time.
Char: Thank YOU! You’re doing a fab job at Weary Parent. It was a pleasure working with you.
Cyndi: Thank you! You’re so sweet.
Jayvee:
Robin: Shame on you. I expect to see you at Eye on DNA pronto! Quiz on Friday.
Jason (bnpositive): It was not an easy decision for me to make and I’ll miss all of you too. (Hope you can tell everyone in the forum that I saw most of their comments before Aaron got me booted.)
Gonna miss you Hsien. Keep in touch.
Darn it… Darn it… Darn it… Darn it… Darn it… Darn it…
Darn it…
Can I cuss now? No? Darn it…
I’ll be back.

William: Thank you! I’m glad I got to meet you at b5.
Mark W: You are a NUT! But I think you’re cool anyway.
Still can’t get over this, Hsien.
BTW, I now have a new photo of me with a sling. Yes, I will always remember…
To me, getting to know you is one great of perk of being online.
Take care and stay in touch, okay?
just saw your message at the b5 forums and I feel really sad about this. ;( I have to say that you’re one of the reasons why my stay at b5 has been a blast and I’ll truly miss you. Take care and stay in touch.
Shai: I will definitely stay in touch. Thank you so much for everything!!
angelo: Thank you! We had some good times, didn’t we?
I’ve skill got your personal blog in my feed reader. Now go write so I can have something to read!
At least I know where to find ya now…
