I’ve now been in Seattle for almost a full day. The flight was great, except that I couldn’t sleep properly. I’ve got a car (Toyota Corolla) and an apartment (200m from work :-/), but I’ve managed to bust the internet already and I have to wait until tomorrow to get it fixed. Luckily they have free WiFi in the guest lounge as well, so thats where I am right now

Happy New year! With the formalities now over, I turn my attention to my favourite subject: Me. I jet off tomorrow for the United States, where I will be taking up a position with Amazon, working on Amazon Fresh. Melissa will join me in a few months. We’re very excited by the opportunity to live and work in a new place, and to work with one of the world’s top tech companies.

I'm presenting a session at EJA tomorrow, entitled "Choose Your Cloud". I'll be comparing the different cloud vendors, with a particular focus on Google App Engine. As an experiment, I've done my presentation in Prezi. I'm not sure if its cool or distracting. I'll check with my audience tomorrow to find out :) Choose your Cloud on Prezi
