This is a very strange situation, so I should explain. In October, about a month after I'd started my new job as a tech columnist for the Wall Street Journal, long-time New York Times tech writer...Indeed, even after I got the NYT offer, I agonized about what to do. Yes, this is sort of like the agony of choosing between two very delicious pieces of cake, but still. I was on the fence about this, and though I’m thrilled beyond words about the NYT, I really hope those guys at the WSJ know that I bear them no ill will.I’d wish them the best of luck, but they don’t need it.I start at the NYT in February. It will be fun....
