Faust Gertz takes a bow

Given that this is the time of the year to be thankful, I’d like to give a shout out to our very own Faust Gertz and thank him for his two and a half years of service on Manufactured Environments. Early in 2005, it was clear that it was going to be a banner year for blogging. A lot of my friends, who previously hadn’t been blogging, started. It was a fun time. At the time, I extended an invitation to Faust to join me on ManuEnvi. I made it a pretty low-key commitment. I said he could blog if and when he felt like it, and I think that approach worked well for him.

On 10 March 2005, he posted his first post here, entitled Faust loves WFMU even though they hate Sun Ra. He went on to post 96 more times over the next two and a half years, ending with MusicBridge - A Shameless Plug on 21 September 2007. If you check out the Classic Entries page, you can find links to the highlights of Faust’s blogging.

So I thank Faust for his input into the blog, and wish him well on his future endeavors.

If you want to keep up with Faust, he’s on virtually every social networking site in the free world. So just login, “friend” him, and drop him a line!
