So long, Seth
This afternoon our newsroom said goodbye to a co-worker, friend, industry leader and truly original human being -- multimedia editor Seth Gitner. He's leaving for a teaching position at Syracuse University, where he'll train the next generation of multimedia journalists. Fans of our late great TimesCast will remember Seth for his "point-o-meter." Internally, we'll remember him for a variety of colorful stories, such as when his duck tape approach to getting the TimesCast on the air resulted in a blown fuse that took out a portion of our advertising department. We had a time. We wish you and your family well, Seth.
Thank you -- I'll miss this place.

That video definitely brings back memories of Seth's awesomeness.
I'm sure the folks in Roanoke will miss you. Congrats again on the new job!

I guess I'll have to find someone else to talk video with at RT parties. Good Luck at your new job. We'll miss you.
