With all of the issues I’ve had on this blog — a horrendous hosting provider, a failed experiment with unproven blog software, family craziness, and a case of walking pneumonia, to list but a few — perhaps the reason I’ve been silent here as much as I have was because I have embarked on a career change. I’m happy to announce that just about four weeks ago, I joined the Experience Design team at Molecular.

A career move is not made without significant introspection. It was a pleasure to spend three years working with the bright folks at Miller Systems — many of whom I call friends — but over the six months before the move, I realized that my career interests were moving in a different direction, and after meeting several members of the Molecular team at various events I realized that they were the perfect fit for a number of reasons:

• I cherish the thought of collaborating with a group of folks who are like minded in their pursuit of designing total experiences that inspire.
• Molecular’s focus and industry leadership in emerging interactions — discovering patterns and themes in everyday use of technology, how those patterns evolve over time, parallels my personal and professional interests.
• To know that those i work with know that experience design intersects and intertwingles with art, sociology, psychology, literary studies, cinematography, and cultural anthropology as much as it does technology.

As a result, the future focus of this blog will be on the general themes found in this post. Blogging will be more frequent, often more topical, and occasionally (hopefully) more thought provoking than it has in the past.
