I pointed out the obvious in my last post that I haven't been posting much lately. Partially, the holiday season was to blame, but there is a bit more news than that...
Many of you know me as Lead Architect for Monster. Well, after 6 1/2 years there, I decided to move on. It wasn't an easy decision, the company and people are still top-notch and I wasn't unhappy there, but it came down to the fact that it was time for a change.
As of two weeks ago, I am now still wearing my Architect hat, but now at VistaPrint (http://vistaprint.com) in Lexington, MA. This page explains what VistaPrint does better than I can, but the essence is that we offer low-cost custom graphic design and printing services over the web, all based on the .NET Framework. I'm enjoying the change of industry, moving from software-based services to creating real, hold-in-your-hands manufactured goods. The commute is a little longer for me, but it isn't terrible at all (besides, the Lexington area has many more restaurants than Maynard.)
Look for continued posts from me on architecture, Team System, ASP.NET and local New England events, but as I'm focusing on learning the ropes here, it may take a few weeks for me to get back to normal blogging.
