Assimilation by the Borg. My new adventure begins in 20 days...
Ok...I know what you are saying...WTF is that logo doing on your site Frank? Ummm hmmmm. Boy, that's a great question. One for which my fellow Apple peeps need to make sure they are sitting down for the answer. Before I continue, please make sure you are not holding any hot objects or consuming liquids of any sort while you read the following few paragraphs. You have been warned.
As you can probably guess by now, there is a disturbance in the force. The dark side has been calling for about the last six months or so now and I have been making the rounds at the mother-ship. Not THAT mother-ship in Cupertino.....oh noooo. Yes, the OTHER mother-ship also known as the Redmond Giant. Yes people, it has happened. I have been officially assimilated by the Borg! For those of you less-than-geek types, I am talking about Microsoft.
I have been sitting on this for a week now, but I can officially release the news that I have accepted an offer at Microsoft as a User Experience Designer with the Windows Server Management Experience (WSMX) Group. Before you all have a heart attack and start throwing daggers and the pigmy's come running to hunt me down with axes, hear me out.
This is a GOOD thing. It was the best move for my family, and to be quite honest, one HELL of a career opportunity that anyone would be brain-dead not to accept. And if you are wondering if I have to move to Seattle, the answer is a resounding YES! Rather than re-hash what I have already gone into great detail about elsewhere, follow the link and read the first post on my other "new" blog on Windows Live Spaces (and I don't wanna hear any wise cracks about using Spaces, remember where I work now) ::: UX Design by Frank: http://uxdesign.spaces.live.com
I know this is a shocker to some of you, but you'll understand that things aren't always what they seem from the outside. You have to dig deep and peel back all the layers to reveal the truth about anything. I did my homework, I liked what I saw, I took the gig. It's really that simple. Now get on over to my other blog and get the full scoop...

Cheers to ya mate anyway, even if you are heading to that side. It all makes sense to me.... they have lots to learn from you! :)

Welcome, Frank. I've enjoyed chatting with you periodically in the past, now maybe we'll be able to meet when you arrive at the mothership ;)

Thanks Alex! I am looking forward to getting out there and getting neck-deep into work. I'm sure we will hook up soon.
