      <title>I'm Going to Work for ActiveState</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;After almost two years, I will be leaving &lt;a href="http://teligence.net"&gt;Teligence&lt;/a&gt; to go work for &lt;a href="http://activestate.com"&gt;ActiveState&lt;/a&gt;. I have really enjoyed working for Teligence. I have especially over the past few months working on some great projects such as our new Facebook application Call Me Now. I am especially going to miss my boss Rob and the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;IVR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; boys. I&#8217;m leaving on a good note and leaving Teligence in good shape with some solid underpinnings to their mobile and social networking efforts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;That being said. I am incredibly excited to be working for ActiveState. &lt;em&gt;All&lt;/em&gt; of the people there are incredibly sharp and the energy and atmosphere is a perfect fit for me. Look for some cool work in the coming months from us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I thought it would be appropriate to leave on a note that would be expected of me. I also wanted to get a laugh out of Rob. And wanted our ape overlords to have a laugh when they open the time capsule that will be my HR file years from now.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It just so happens that today I got a new HR representative. And they (who will remain nameless) needs to receive a letter of resignation from me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I went up to &lt;em&gt;blank&lt;/em&gt;&#8217;s office and spent some time doodling while we discussed my leaving. She has no idea  what she&#8217;s about to receive in inter-office mail. I think it is a work of art.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Need I say more?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
