In a week I will be leaving Alcatel-Lucent after 8 years to help start up a new web business for a tv electronics manufacturer. More on that later. This move means that I will no longer be offering consulting services.

For the time being, I'm stripping down this site, by using the white skin, removing the home page, the splashy top graphic, and all references to consulting services. Oh, and have finally upgraded to 5.x since the contributed modules I use are all up to date now. Call this phase 1. I'll most likely evolve the design of this site to use graphics and extraneous navigation a bit more minimally, and will focus on the blog again. That will be phase 2, but don't know when I'll find the time to do that.

Luckily, my new office is in Manhattan, and I'll be bike commuting most of the time, so I'll have a lot to blog over at love & sprockets, the new bike blog. Anyway, hope you enjoyed my orange phase. On to the white and gray site for the time being.
