Timothy B. Lee / Ars Technica

Timothy B. Lee, the Philadelphia resident and libertarian-oriented economic thinker who has written about technology issues for Ars Technica and Forbes and has been an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, has apparently joined the Washington Post in a full-time role, according to his twitter feed.

He will be moving to Washington, and his new position will require that he end his 10 year relationship with the Cato Institute, he tweets.

Lee has a masters degree in Computer Science from Princeton. He is an often provocative thinker who goes against the grain of orthodoxy, and it will be interesting to see what he contributes at the Post.

Why couldn't the Inquirer have made an effort to keep him in Philly, I wonder? (Needn't ask.)
