So...the latest news can be revealed. I resigned my position with netomat, inc. last week, effective the end of the month. It seemed to be the right thing to do for a variety of reasons, almost none of which I'll post here. I think the technology is sound, I just wasn't the person to get the product out the door. Lesson learned I guess.

So, the plan for now is to complete some transition work for netomat (we're parting amicably) and then to take July and August off. The plan for July is to drive Frisket and Lisa cross-country to Illinois where we'll spend a couple of weeks shuttling between the wilds of DuPage county and Urbana-Champaign. I have no plans post-trip. Somehow I don't think the Silicon Alley economy will promptly turn around again upon my return to NYC.
