Released on his own recognizance

My blog went dark since my hosting acct expired and I never really felt like renewing. Let me just give a short but sweet update…

1. I no longer work for ESRI, I am doing Conservation Biology now for a consulting firm. I decided I like eating sausage more than I like making it.
2. I am still programming and using ESRI products but it will only be part of my work. The other part will be doing more of what I love in a different field. My PhD is in Ecology and I am going to get a chance to use it.
3. If you are only interested in GIS stuff be sure to subscribe to the GIS feed because I plan on writing some GIS stuff but not only GIS stuff
4. Since I am under new management I am going to make this more of a personal blog. I never spoke for ESRI before and I certainly do not speak AT ALL for my new employer.
5. That being said there will be no juicy office politics aired here and I am going to try to focus on being constructive rather than just snarking. I know I am foregoing some hits but oh well.
6. I am going to work on the theme some and the widgets so expect changes to the look and feel

With all that said I will now return to my generally unintersting posts arriving at an irregular and far-too-long-between-post frequency.
