A Different Kind of Engineer

 So my title at Onfolio had 'engineering' in it, but my father is _actually_ an engineer. Well, an industrial engineer. Our workplace looks a little different- working on design problems with warehouse layout or packaging mechanicals versus design problems with code or UI- maybe I should get engineer out of my title :). Some of the releases that I've worked on most likely warranted a hard hat, though OSHA didn't mandate it.

I just spent a few minutes playing around with this.

It's pretty nice. Signup for posting was a breeze (I'm thinking about getting rid of a TV before I move). If I actually end up posting something, I'll let you know how it works out.

Check out the tour for more fun....

Some Great Groups

Onfolio Ski Trip

A couple years ago, most of the Onfolio crew skipped out on work and hit Loon for a great day on the slopes. Pictured are Joe, Spike, Mike, Charisma, and myself. The weather was excellent and we had a full day of good times (though as I recall, there were some New Hampshire speeding tickets on the way there).

ColdFusion MX Team Tours the Harbor

After a long and arduous release, the ColdFusion MX team blew off some steam as we toured the Boston Harbor on a yacht. It was a well deserved break, even though the weather was a bit cool and cloudy. Here's a photo of just a small group from the trip.

The Future

Well now I'm a part of a new team, one that sure seems like its already doing and going to continue to do some great things. Soon enough, I should have another collection of memories and photos, this time not from Allaire, Macromedia, or Onfolio, but instead, from Microsoft!

     

  

Onfolio Acquired By Microsoft

For those who haven't heard, Onfolio has been acquired by Microsoft. There's been a lot of information on the web about it, and a lot of it has been positive. Of course I'm very excited about  the opportunity for Onfolio to be distributed as a part of the Windows Live Toolbar, and I'm very excited for the chance to be a part of Microsoft.

Nick Drake Goodness

MetaFilter — Nick Drake -Time Has Told Me -Unreleased demos and studio outtakes. It requires a signup and they are currently full but they  frequently open up again. This torrent has 44 studio/live tracks that are a bit raw but still have the Nick Drake magic.

The M is still in the Garage

An in related news, the M is still in the garage, having survived another New England winter (although this year it pretty much never saw the roads except on a clear weekend or two).

I'm back!

You may have noticed an extended absence over the last several weeks.  Or you may not have.  Well either way, I'm back.
