On Tuesday the 7th I’m moving to Boston, permanently, to join a new company and hopefully preach the pure enjoyment of Rails programming. You can expect many pictures and lots of great posts in the near future. Until then, railsapi.org(|.com) should be running within the next few days, I have to finish a new version of Khronos before Charles kills me, and try to squeeze in spending a bit of time with my family.

Today is the three year anniversary of my written commitment to move to Boston. That’s amazing and time has really flown by.

Technically, I moved to Boston on March 6th, 2006, but I accepted the offer to work at Eons on February 15th, 2006.

I have to admit, moving out to Boston ended up being one of the strangest blessings of my life. It all started with a conversation with my wife, sending off a resume, and having an e-mail conversation with some guy named “Reed Sturtevant”. Meeting Reed in person made me realize working for him was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and if I passed it up, I’d never get another chance like that again.

Three years later, it’s very likely we’ll never leave Boston. Although we’ve swayed back and forth because our families are in Michigan, Boston is truly a wonderful place to live, learn, and raise children.

To the people who trusted me to bring me here and taught me so much, I wanted to say thank you.
