Its not like me to not blog like this, man have I been busy.  Its time for an update.

My new title is Director of Mobile Technology at CarSpot.com here in Milwaukee.  My mandate is to create a .Net development department for Mobile, Web, and Desktop development, establish code guidelines, architectural guidelines, and best practices, try to get some best practices carried into the other technical departments, etc. 

So far I have re-architected and re-written one of our products, and am in the process of doing a 50-client release of this product.  Fifty units is a big deal on this product so I've had my hands full.

Generally, I'm hoping to have a better chance at "doing things right" than I've ever gotten as a consultant.  At a product company, where the product IS the focus, its easier to convince management to invest in getting the right tools and going back to refactor things and all that.  Contrast this to consulting where "Oh that damn web site project for FY07 planning" is always being pushed out far faster than is practical and quality of product and quality of life always suffers.

I have some long overdue technical stuff coming up next.
