now/Yep, we’re moving to Texas.
Come September 1st, I will have a new job and my family will be living in a new state.
I know what you’re thinking. “Chris in Texas, where it’s hot, and hot and Oh my Lord it’s Hot!” Yeah I try not to think about the melting that will be happening after I get there.
Elevated temperatures aside, I and my family, are very excited about this move. My time at Asbury has been great; I have grown as a person, developer and employee in ways that I didn’t think possible a little over three years ago when I took the Web Architect postition.
But as the old saying goes, “Non-sequitur’s make me eat lampshades”, and let me tell you, that has never been truer than it is right now.
As of September 1st I will be working for the little startup that could, Viewzi. Viewzi is in one word, supercalifreakingawesome. Great people, seriously solid product and big plans for the future API wise. You will not want to be the only kid on your block who hasn’t made a view this time next year. Trust the Chris.
I will have more to say when I actually get to Dallas and start slaving away at some PHP, but until then: Viewzi, love it, use it build something gnarly with it.
Yeah. It seemed like a good time to do something different with the ol bucket o’ sillyness, what with the move in employment and geography and all. I will talk more about the design a little later, but lets just say I wanted something about more subdued than “2008”, my previous design.
Look for a Habari theme based on “2008” in the coming weeks. Right, I think that is about it. Let me know what you love/hate about the new layout.

Let me be the first to say congrats! Have an awesome time in Texas!
FIRST! Seriously, looking forward to having you on the team. It’s gonna be awesome having you aboard the S.S. Viewzi!
Hey thanks Bryan!
I am hoping I have a great time. Also, I am hoping to vacation in Washington State next year. If so, coffee and j-pop must ensue!
Er, looks like Bryan beat me to being the first commenter. Simul-post, FTW. :)
First!
But in all seriousness, welcome aboard dude. I love my job, and I’m sure you will too!
Nathan: Yeah looks like you were both furiously typing away there. I am stoked about the move, and hey! We even got our apartment settled today, so things are rawking on this end.
First!
But in all seriousness, welcome aboard, dude. I love my job, and I’m sure you will, too!
Chris, you got it. :) J-pop and coffee hilarity shall insue, keep me posted.
Congrats on the new position Chris. Very cool indeed. Good luck with the move and everything, I wish you and the family the very best of luck.
We’re all pretty excited that you’re joining the team! Get here ASAP!
Hope it all goes well Chris. Always a bit disjointing the first couple of months when you go somewhere new until you find the good places that appeal to you and all. I’m sure you’ll love it. You seem pretty excited about the job itself which is always a good thing.
Congrats, I look forward to seeing what you can do with Viewzi.
Can I be the first member of the public to put something on your plate?
I hate that I can’t middle click to open a search result in a new tab in FF. I know a regular click will open in a new tab (not something I’m ecstatic about either), but a middle click doesn’t give the new tab focus, which is what I want.
Viewzi does look like fun though!
Nice re-design too, BTW.
Congratulations! It won’t be the same around Wilmore without you, that’s for sure. I’m sure you’re going to enjoy it all, but I have to say that I’m a bit jealous.
Hurry up and get to work!
Congrats on the new, looking-so-cool job! And good luck moving. It’s sure going to be kinda tough, but I’m sure it’s all going to be very rewarding.
The design turned out to be great, nice work!
love the new look, although the home link is a little off. Congrats on the new job! Texas isn’t as hot as I feared, hope you enjoy it.
adam: Thanks for the catch, should be all fixed up now.
Congrats Chris! I wish you the best with the move and that your family find a great community to mesh with. The job is obviously gonna be pure awesomeness. Lucky man you are.
Cheers.
Yeeeehaaaw.
That should cover it :)
Congrats. Working with great people is the way to go.
Hey man, congrats on landing the new job with Viewzi! They so deserve you.
You’ll be amongst several great visionaries there so a perfect fit for you. Beware, though, of the Texas Whippersnappers.
Oh… I installed Habari and love the admin. Haven’t quite figured out how to work up my own theme, but in due time I suppose. I’ve moved the “blog” to the aptly named /journal and slapped a theme on it.
As always - good luck, my friend in all that you do.
First (not)!
Congratulations, Chris, I’m sure you guys will do some awesome things there.
Hmm… Texas, Texas, Texas - that reminds me that there’s a little something that might be going on around March that I think you might be interested in.
Nathan: Drag his a** to Austin even if it hurts puppies.
Hey man, I have been trying to get to Austin for that thing in March for like 3 years. I am so intent on getting there that I am even moving to the same state!
Seriously though, I am going to do everything in my power, limited as it may be, to get to SXSW this year.
Anton: Will do. Dragging shall commence, March ‘09.
Texas is a great place. If you like heat. Although Dallas might be a little more comfortable than Houston.
Very cool! Congratulations on the move!
Better get a 40-gallon hat, now!
Congrats Chris!
