I usually keep this blog more topical, so we interrupt our normal programming for a message from our sponsor. I’m moving to Dallas. In the last couple of months I’ve been doing some contracting for a technology company, Digital Architects and I’ve now been offered a full time role. My role is going to be a combination of client facing work, market facing and building an internal dicipline around UX (user experience). My working title right now is dir. of user experience and I hope to help this technology company differentiate in the crowded and homogenous market place of technology shops.
As for practicalities, i wil be getting my brakes and air-conditioner fixed next week and driving my jeep grand cherokee from boston to dallas. I’ve bought route 66, a mapping application, which i will hook up to my GPS receiver to make the trip more interesting. So far the only waypoint I’ve added to my trip is the “Pancake Pantry” in Nashville. Anywhere else I should stop? I’ll post a screen shot of my route.
I’m really looking forward to moving to Dallas and already have a sweet apartment, just north in an area called Las Colinas. The only thing I’m a little concerned about is how hot it gets here. Being from England i don’t deal well with the sun. Our complexion is actually a pale blue and it takes at least a week in the sun to turn white 
Peace out!
Congrats on the new gig and the big change! Obviously there’s a million things to see and do in NYC (I’m headed there for a week next week - any ideas?) but while in either Memphis or Nashville, be sure to stop off and have some Corky’s BBQ - and make sure you try the DRY bbq ribs. Depending on the history of one’s own eating, dry ribs may seem like a weird choice, but they are fantastic and unique. I guess there are many regional variations on bbq - I’m not sophisticated or experienced enough to know the diff between North Carolina, Texas, Memphis, KC, etc. but the learning is fun…
