 About three months ago, I was contacted by a recruiter for Amazon. Yes, that Amazon. The big kahuna. One of the titans of the tech industry. Some emails flew back and forth, some phone interviews occurred, and one in-person interview as well, and shortly after PyCon US 2011 (which was awesome, by the way!) I was made an offer that I couldn't refuse.
 
 So, here I am. In Seattle, a resident of the USA, joined by Char & Matthew in what could be at least described as the most disruptive job change I've ever had.

 New house, huh.
 
 By now more than a few people who will be seeing this post have seen the house. It's nice. Really! Please, come and visit! We've more or less settled in, and have been getting out into the neighborhood. There are some fantastic little shops and eateries in the area, which is not really surprising given that we're straddling the line between two of Seattle's funky neighborhoods.

 I'm increasing feeling comfortable with the nature of my job here, which is fantastic. We have such a complex problem domain, with so many teams in play, that it's a full time job (and more!) just to manage that organizational problem.
 
 All of which means that the tools I get to use are light years beyond the tinkertoy deployment and version management tools I've worked with in my own professional history as well as in my personal work. The learning curve for these has been \... steep. I've been doing nothing but try to figure out how all of the pieces \-- or, at least, all of the pieces I need to work with \-- fit together. Nothing I can talk about on this public site, of course; it's all internal information.

 I'm an inveterate blog reader, which must come as a surprise to precisely nobody. I read blogs by authors, programmers, and random joes who seem to have something interesting to day. To augment that, I also read community weblogs (Metafilter being the most prominent of that lot).
 
 I read these blogs\... too much. I've traced this down to a desire to always be abreast of the latest developments in the part of the world that interests me. I don't want to miss anything. And, what ends up happening is that I miss a lot\... just nothing online. What I miss most is being a reader of books. I rarely read books any more because, well, where would I find the time?

 C and I have landed in our new place. It's an older place in an older neighborhood, and holy shit do we have lots of stuff. It's especially obvious when it's all packed into a house that's a bit smaller than we started with.
 
 So, the layout is sweet, in my opinion. It's got a tiny kitchen, though, which is likely not to thrill \@DarwinsMom. For now, though, it's home. Darwin's room is just bloody adorable. I'd take pictures, but he's sleeping like, well, a baby. Another time, perhaps.

 I think -- and I'll know by the time many of you read this -- that we may have found a home, at least for now. It's a compromise (we'll have to store the dining room set, which makes me \... sad) but I think it's a good one.
 
 The neighbourhood is awesome. We're a 10-minute walk from shopping; farmer's markets, groceries, and bookstores. Plus, [BottleWorks](http://bottleworksbeerstore.blogspot.com/)\... which is not necessarily a *good* thing, per se; that is one hell of a beer store.

 Moving right along\...
 
 This is where it gets a bit more complicated. Most of the people I'm going to be writing about in this vein now are people who read the blog with varying degrees of frequency. I'm not really sure how I feel about talking about them in such a public forum, and more to the point, I'm not sure how comfortable _they_ are with it.
