Announcements: New Job, New Location (soon)
Announcement: New Job!
As of February 1, 2011, I am a full-time employee of Measured Progress, "an industry leader in the development of customized, K-12 student assessments for schools, districts, and states." Measured Progress is a Non-Profit Organization, so their culture is a little bit different from what I've grown accustomed, which will probably be a really good thing. The contract work that I've been doing for this organization recently has exposed me to some extremely smart people, so I know my work is cut out for me. It's time for me to step up my game, something I've been looking to do since being released by my former employer back in August 2010.
My title at Measured Progress is Enterprise Architect, Rich Internet Applications (RIA) and I will have my hands full with all things RIA at the company. I plan to assist the company in transitioning to more effective user interfaces, user experiences and expand their ability to deliver these improvements to more platforms and devices than they currently service. I will be spending the better part of the first half of 2011 completing the project I am currently assigned and becoming more oriented to the Measured Progress organization and culture.
Announcement: Relocation In-progress
As part of my new position with my new employer, I will be moving to the Boston area to be part of the Nimble Innovation Lab at Measured Progress in Newton, MA. I am currently looking for a home to lease for my move in the Spring. Thank God they agreed to a Spring-time move, as they have been getting pounded by snow this Winter just like the rest of the Northeast. My move to the Boston area is a big deal; I've lived in Atlanta for the past 22 years, and you know how dicey change can be for someone as old as me. I am looking forward to these big changes and will be focusing on taking full advantage of the opportunities set in front of me this year.
Announcement: RIA Radio Lives On!
With InsideRIA closed, you may be wondering "RIA Radio WTF?!?" Well, we are quietly trying to find a new home for hosting our podcasts. More news soon, but no worries.
