For the first time in 25 years (how the heck did that sneak up on me), I'm no longer gainfully employed. Not that I'm complaining too much, since the reasonable severance package will allow me to pursue my dreams of having my own real consulting and contracting company. Fingers crossed, anyways. Corporate mergers and takeovers aren't all bad, it seems.

What I'd like to do is some Mac work, but frankly I'm not sure how much of that there is out there. I expect I'll spend some time working on our (Burr Oak's) Windows Mobile apps, as well as the two Macintosh apps we have coming up, and at the same time start hunting for contracts.

I'm more excited than I sound. This kind of opportunity presents itself very very rarely.
