Relocation

I apologize for the lack of recent posts, but my wife and I have been preparing for our relocation to the Redmond, Washington area, and we've been quite busy preparing for the move (we're flying out on January 29th). We've never had to relocate more than an hour away, and it's always been one of those "call up your friends, rent a truck, and have a moving party." This is a little bit different. Our "to do" list seems to keep growing and growing. Plus, we're trying to spend some time with family and friends, because it won't be nearly as easy to visit them from 1,770 miles away! We've been in Southwest Michigan for most of our lives, and our roots here are pretty deep. However, the closer we get to the actual move, the more excited we get.

I've been working remotely this week, and it's gone smoothly so far. I'm being introduced to people that I'll be spending a lot of time with, and I'm really looking forward to our future interaction. There have been a few technical hurdles related to switching my internal account between domains, but overall, no showstoppers (and perhaps more importantly, nothing I wasn't prepared for). I've started to read through the WinFX SDK documentation from the November CTP release, and it's made me even more excited about what we're doing with Avalon. I'm sure I'll be blogging about it a lot more down the road.
