My Life Transitions

My life is once again in transition. For those that don't want to read this entire post, I'm shifting my work-life to focus more on freelance. So, with some regrets (but also excitement) I'm leaving pingVision, the Drupal shop based in Boulder Colorado for new adventures. In this new role as projects wrap up I'll write about what I've experienced and learned.

My goal is to leverage my experiences as a technologist and nonprofit professional to continue to affect positive change.

What a great 2.5 years this has been! I started at pingVision in the summer of 2007 with expectations of working on great projects and with fabulous people. I was not disappointed. I've worked, in one fashion or another, on about thirty sites in that time. The highlights include:

  • Spectrum Magazine
  • Popular Science Magazine
  • Bikes Belong
  • Red Blue America
  • two sites for Stanford University
  • Classic Graphics | Opus
  • Earthday.net
  • Paul Taylor Dance
  • Firehouse.com
  • SportingNews

The richness of working on such a diversity of projects ranging from the arts, to universities, to nonprofits, to political, to activism has been wonderful. I want to take a moment to thank Katherine Lawrence and Laura Scott for asking me to join pingVision. I've enjoyed working with an amazing group of Drupal professionals.

It's the Great Druplakin Charlie Brown!

pingVision Pumpkin CarvingThis afternoon, at pingVision, we spent the very end of the day carving pumpkins. The pumpkins ranged from my Druplicon to scary faces to kitty cats.

It became a bit of a family effort when Karyn Cassio's son and husband showed up to join in.

We're hoping that tomorrow we'll have candles to light them all weather permitting. The Metro Denver region is supposed to be blanketed in up to 14 inches of snow in the next 36 hours or so. Still, more pictures should be expected of the pumpkins, the people, and probably the snow!

The photos that I took can be seen on Flickr. So Happy Halloween (just a touch early)!
