blow out the candles.

First off, Happy 30th Birthday to Apple. Today was a little bittersweet for me, as I finally announced to my colleagues at Apple that I'm ending my part-time gig so that I can spend a summer at Yahoo! in Sunnyvale. Here's what I wrote today:

I'm writing to let you know that my last day at Apple will be this Friday, April 7. I'm very grateful to Apple for keeping me in a part-time capacity during my first year at the Ross School of Business. Thanks to the patience and hard work of Tracey, Dave, and others, we were able to launch an exciting scholarship program.

Alas, it's time to move on. After finishing up the academic year in late April, I'll be returning to the Bay Area and taking a summer position in Yahoo! Product Marketing. It's a great opportunity to broaden my skills while riding on this newfangled invention called the "Information Superhighway."

See you back in the Loop,
Nate

Four years with one company is a long time, and I'm very fortunate to have been in the Loop during the good part of the rollercoaster. Farewell, Apple. Hello, Yahoo!
