I have been kind of quiet the past couple of days because I was flying back to Seattle for a job interview which I accepted yesterday. I have really enjoyed being a part of the Learning Lab at the Wharton School, and I will be keeping my eye on what they’re doing because I think in the next year they’re going to be doing some really cool stuff with Flex. They have a quality team and all the resources they need to really build great web applications.

The new job is for a small interactive advertising agency, WorldClass Strategy, and will be doing mostly ColdFusion programming. The company has a great business model, a really good team, and I am going to be able to go in and make a big impact right away. The online advertising space is only going to grow and it?s going to be cool to be a part of that.

I’m really looking forward to getting back into some serious ColdFusion coding because I think it’s a great language and because I’ve been doing Flex development, I’ve pretty much just been writing CFCs. The company has looked at Flex and now that it’s going to be priced at less than $1,000 dollars, I’m hoping to sell them on using it for some of their projects. If nothing else I’ll be playing with the alpha in my spare time and I’ll still be blogging about Flex.

I’m also very excited about moving from Philadelphia to Seattle. My office is one block away from the original Starbucks, which will be dangerous, and I’m also going to be going into a huge technology heartland. While I feel a little bit like Frodo and Sam going into Mordor, I’m pumped about the idea of getting involved in the Seattle CFUG and finding people in the heart of the evil empire (or is that Google now?) who are passionate about Macromedia Adobe products. Combine that with all of the Seattle bloggers who are talking about the next great things in technology, and I think I’ll be right at home. Maybe I’ll even see Robert Scoble at the grocery store.

We’re moving in mid-January, so if you’re in the Seattle area and have some tips on apartment hunting (or even just general moving), I’d love to hear them.
