Macromedia Bound
announcements
August 14, 2004, 05:27 PM
Well, that was a long silence, wasn't it? But a silent blog often implies a busy blogger, and I've been busy with many things for the past month and a half.
The most exciting news to come out of all that busyness is: I have a job! I just accepted an offer from Macromedia, a software company in San Francisco that makes these web tools doohickeys called "Flash" and "Dreamweaver", among other things. Maybe you've heard of them.
I'll be stepping into the position of Usability Specialist there next month, primarily working with the Flash product team. I'm really excited; there's a lot of smart, talented people there doing cool things that I'm looking forward to being a part of. The position they offered me is a perfect fit with what I want to do right now; I couldn't imagine a better opportunity at this point in my career. Oh, and I'll be in the same office as that Kenneth guy, which I'm cool with, I guess.
As for now, I'm busy finishing up a few things before I leave Pittsburgh, but hopefully I'll get a chance to post some retrospectives on our capstone project and other tidbits shortly.
Stay tuned!

Hey Rob,
Congratulations on your success landing on a great job at MM.
I'll personally look forward to seeing much user-friendly products from both Flash and DW.
Send my best regards to Kenneth guy as well when you see him in person.
PS I'll be in SF next February for business trip. Hope to see you and your office mate then.

Been a long time since I checked in, so this is a late congrats. Based on the lack of posts, I'm assuming you've been assimilated properly. After a drawn-out decision, I ended up staying here at ID. So far it's working out well.
Keep us posted. You probably remember from all my previous ramblings that I've been a Flash Usability evangelist for some time now, though it looks like you'll be making sure the IDE is usable, no (rather than what people create with Flash)? If so, say hi to Eric Pressman when and if you see him (based in Boston). I bump into him at various conferences-- cool fellow. I also met Deb Galdez at UPA 2003, though I don't recall where she's located.
