Joining Lullabot
The rumors are true! As of today, I'm officially a Lullabot. People have been asking me, why leave the safety of a solid academic position to join a small company? I think the better question is, what kind of a company must Lullabot be for someone in a solid academic position to leave academia in order to join it? For those just stirring from in front of their VAX terminals (and why should they? the system is still up!), Lullabot is an open source education and consulting firm, focusing on the increasingly popular content management framework Drupal.
I look forward to being more involved in the open source community. And yes, the book is almost done!

Congratulations!
WOW! Congratulations.
That's really awesome for you and for Lullabot! For personal reasons, I really hope you are not planning on leaving Ames also, as I am due to arrive in just 9 days.
I had a wonderful first meeting with 6 great Drupal enthusiasts in Ames when I was house hunting a few weeks back. Everyone was excited about getting a User group going.
Hope you can join us - http://groups.drupal.org/node/12415
Thanks for sharing all your great work and I am super excited that you can do Drupal full time now. That's good for Drupal, me and all the other Drupal users out there.
Go Team Drupal!
Regards,
Michael Hofmockel

You've helped me, inspired me, and made me snort various liquids out of my nose over the past 3 years, and I'm hugely looking forward to working with you! :)
