Job Change

Judging by the emails I'm receiving, the word is out, so here is an official announcement: I'm shifting over to Business Week. I'll be its Washington-based foreign affairs writer, and will additionally continue to write about energy, although on a larger canvas and not only on the former Soviet Union. Story ideas are welcome.

The blog will continue. There is serious talk about absorbing it into Business Week's on-line presence, and I'll keep you informed if and when that happens.

I have enjoyed Texas -- a lot. What isn't well known outside Dallas (at least I didn't know it) is how zooming and multi-national it is. The neighborhood where we live is largely immigrant -- Indian primarily, but also Chinese, Ukrainian, Russian, Japanese, Brazilian (in addition to the Kazakhs living in our house). Plus it's a boom-time atmosphere, inexpensive enough to attract all manner of people who are trying to make it.

I got a call from Business Week -- this blog will be absorbed by its on-line presence. For better or worse, the tone will not change (though of course I'm open to hearing suggestions of subject matter).

Thanks for the remarks and best, Steve
