Local hiker moving up in the world

Vindu enjoys the viewI just found out a guy I’ve hiked with several times — Vindu Goel, who also is a tech columnist for the Mercury News — has just been hired away by the New York Times. That’s him at Mount Diablo in the picture. He’s going to be a deputy technology editor at the Times. Here’s his latest blog posting on the move.

So, hats off to Vindu, may he bring glory to the Gray Lady.

(In the small-world department: Vindu was Winehiker Russ’s roommate for awhile.)

    So there we have it; the fastest route to total and absolute career success involves hiking with Mangan.

    I wonder how much my three hour hike with the blogger ho-down gang (including Two-Heel Drive) will add to my lifetime earnings total…

    I’m going to miss Vindu’s columns. I thought he wrote a great one in the Merc yesterday.
