Kai is an old friend of mine. I haven't seen him since he left for Quebec when he had accepted this position.

I encourage people to read his follow-up post, where he describes the huge media reaction (positive and negative) to his original blog post: http://kainagata.com/2011/07/09/a-lot-can-happen-in-24-hour/

I wish Kai the best on his journey, and the next steps in his life, whatever they may be.
