This morning I gave my resignation at work, I’ve been doing semiconductor stuff for quite a number of years and I want to do something different. I am going to join a stealth-mode Web 2.0 startup as first full-time employee and VP of Technology. It is a social/community site (surprise!). I really love the idea of the site and I’m VERY excited about it. I can’t say more until we do a small “friends and family” beta, which will be in the very near future. I will probably start a company blog and maybe a site development blog on tech stuff such as Ruby on Rails, DHTML, CSS, AJAX, JavaScript. (or a single blog with both news and development/tech articles.)
We don’t have an office now, I will be working from home or wherever with WiFi/EVDO for a while. But when we get an office it will be in San Francisco (and it will be dog-friendly!), I’m looking forward to finally moving to the city for real. For those who don’t know me personally, I live in the south bay Mon through Thu and in SF on weekends. I have my lease until late October though, so I might stay here til then. (my condo in Santa Clara is real nice, I’ve looked at a lot of places and this IMO is one of the best, if you’re interested in taking over the lease, let me know and we can probably work something out! 🙂 )
If you know me from the past and wanna keep in touch, or if you’ve been reading this blog and want to connect with me professionally, feel free to add me at LinkedIn (or Facebook). I’d also encourage you to subscribe to the feed in your favorite RSS reader/aggregator.

I knew you wouldn’t be in the corporate world for long. It is just a matter of time for you to be part of a startup. I am truly glad you take the step. Best of luck!
I am waiting to see your next big thing!
