I’m starting a new job soon.

The last day of my current job (for the University of Washington) is next Monday, March 3rd.

The next day I will be working for Brain Murmurs. Check them out at http://brainmurmurs.com

Dan Pasco (the CEO) has been a good friend for a long time, and has been trying to get me to work for him for, let’s see, years. He finally offered me some opportunities I could not refuse, and here we are.

Needless to say, I’m really looking forward to starting there. I’m going to be working on some really cool things, mentoring some really cool programmers, and really just realizing the sort of job that I’ve wanted for a long time.

You see, whenever I asked myself what I really wanted to do, the answer kept coming back as “Be a Mac developer.” Most of the programmers whose work I follow and respect are Mac developers.

I’m pleased that I will be joining their ranks.

I’m pleased that I’m getting my chance to be in the show.

Yeah, I broke my blog.

I wrote the software it was running on, and did the design myself. And then I left it alone for a while. When I posted after a long absence, the front page crashed. The RSS feed was fine, the individual post pages were fine, but the front page crashed.

So I went back to Wordpress. I’ll be slowly migrating the past posts over.

One of the advantages of the new platform is that some smart people have been doing good work to make the system work well with the iPhone. If you browse to this site in an iPhone, you’ll see it formatted in a way that is very iPhone friendly.

Sorry for the distraction.
