Hello, World.
Greetings from the ether(net)!
It's admittedly a bit daunting to be in the presence of such master-Macrobloggers as Mike, Christian and JD, but I'm glad to be on board helping to blog what I'm seeing and hearing across the Macromedia communities. My deep sense of curiosity well outweighs my need for self-imposed boundaries- so expect to see a lot of topics showing up in this 'blog, although I'll try to keep them related to Macromedia's products and communities as best I can. ;-)
Who am I? I've been with Macromedia since 2000 (for the most part), and started out as the first 'community manager' for Dreamweaver before Matt Brown took the reins in mid-2001 and I went on to work for Jeremy Allaire on the MM web team. I'm now back in the community manager slot, after taking a little 'round-trip' thru the company.
Before my years at Macromedia, I was a studio musician (primarily bass, guitar and vocals) and directed web/online development at MetaCreations, a (now defunct) Santa Barbara-based graphics software company that was best known for Bryce, Kai's Power Tools and Painter before they were sold to Corel in 2000. I spent from 1994-2000 building intranet and extranet sites there, using everything from Perl to ASP to ColdFusion to JSP. After Meta folded in December of 1999, I had a few good conversations with the DW team regarding the new extensibility API in DW 3, and... well, that moved me up to Macromedia in San Francisco. My prior experience is admittedly mostly with Dreamweaver, Flash and the other Studio products, but I've been spending a lot of time with Flex and Breeze lately - great products, both.
So- hello, Macroworld!
Please bookmark this page- I'm really just getting started...
