In a post on his personal website, Farber writes, “It’s time for a new beginning. After more than 30 years working for various media companies as a writer, reporter, blogger, editor, designer, spellchecker, talking head, photographer, coach, I am leaving the nest. Today is my last day at CBS/CNET/ZDNet.

“It was a great journey, one path always leading to another, working with talented, dedicated people, blazing trails on the front lines of the Internet revolution.

“The journey and revolution continues, and I will be looking to help others on the path.”
