It's with an air of sadness that I report that this will be my last post with Inside The Circle. It's been nearly a year since I applied to write a bunch of words about Zune and music - the former I knew how to write about, the latter I really had no idea, which ended up being my trepidation before replying. Y'know, all ten minutes of hesitation.

It's been a fun time and I'm glad Marques brought me on, allowing me to stretch my wings as a blogger and an essayist. I got write a bunch of words I didn't know about album reviews and relate my frustrations about Windows Phone lack of Sprint support (still waiting!) to all of you and I genuinely appreciate that.

Simultaneously, I had been co-hosting a podcast with friends and we decided to band together to create our own site called FleshEatingZipper where we write about gaming, tech, and entertainment. Unfortunately, it became a bit of a full-time project and I realized that I just couldn't contribute more quality work to Inside The Circle.

To all those who read my work, thanks. To all those who loved my work, YOUARESOAWESOMETHANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish the staff and fans of ITC all the best.

With much love to my Zune fans,

N
