1) When did you leave the paper in Orlando?&nbsp; Was this a position that you were offered or something you found out about and went for it?<br />
<br />
2) What is an approximate time we can expect to see some of the multimedia projects you spoke of above?&nbsp; Any ideas on what we can look forward too?<br />

Left in fall of 2008 (well after Beckett.com switch) after having worked in the professional newspaper business for 10 years as an editor, designer, columnist, blogger, etc. (Before that time, I was a college editor for three years and worked for multiple publications free-lance.) I regularly wrote about cards at all of my newspaper stops (started writing about cards in 2001), so the publisher was well aware of my work and had me on a short list of possible people for when openings popped up.<br />

Projects are always in flux and change depending on what other things pop up -- particularly with multimedia. We're also aggressively reviewing our print lineups -- and actually adding to them this year. For example, we're going to publish 10 issues for Beckett Baseball this year (same for Football) and we've been doing several one-shot magazines for things like the Yankees World Series title. (We'll have another if Alabama wins the BCS game.) We're also bringing back Beckett Racing four times a year.<br />
