I arrived at the airport, sending a few tweets of this or that nature with all of this Github and Microsoft News. I have a great view out the window from the Alaska Lounge just before heading to the D gates. For you aeronautics fans like myself, here’s a picture of that view and a few of those Alaska Planes with one of the newly acquired Virgin America Planes!

All this news with Github and Microsoft was easily eclipsing WWDC18 and in the meanwhile little ole’ me is on my way to a new adventure in my career. So priorities what they are, the news being excited, I’m more excited today to announce today I’m joining a most excellent team at DataStax! to bring forth investigation, research, knowledge, ideas, and whatever else I can as a Developer Evangelist with the crew here at DataStax! I’m unbelievably stoked as I’ve been searching for a company that would check all of my “will this work” check boxes for some months now! DataStax won out among the other prospective candidate companies and I’m starting today!

To kick off this adventure, I’m heading to San Francisco to join in the fun attending DevxCon. I’ll be there a little later today, hopefully in time for the kick off (ya know, pending flights and BART are all timely and such)! Then a full day of the conf, then later will join the team for a visit to DataStax HQ and maybe a few surprises. I’m super excited and ready to bring awesome content your way, while inventing, building, and experimenting my way through some awesome technologies!
