I've been laid off for the second time in my career. Yes, in this soft market. I'm averaging one every 7 years. So maybe I'll aim to retire by 2015 so I don't have to go through this again. :-)I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. This whole thing was an experiment. I just thought it would go a bit longer. I entered the sales contest, and walked away with third prize.
I'm currently looking for the next big thing. I'd love to work for a small company (5–25 people) where I can be the lead designer. Here is my updated resume. Feel free to forward it on to anyone who might be interested in my skill set. Thanks!
Dave your an awesome designer with a real understanding of how people perceive and process micro-actions online. I witnessed you completely shape asynchronous and synchronous interactions with simplicity. As a student entrepreneur/researcher and friend, I feel lucky to have worked with you. Good luck with the next venture, I have a feeling this one is going to be something meaningful!
