<p>After nearly six years at Orbitz, and a lifetime of memories, I have decided to move on – my last day will be this Friday July 18th. I’d like to thank everyone for a good run and will be offering a toast of beer and tayberries Friday afternoon from my backyard. Enjoy and best wishes!</p>

<p>Some friends at work were recently interviewed by <a href="http://news.cnet.com/openroad/">Matt Asay</a> on the release of our monitoring software, <a href="https://launchpad.net/erma">ERMA</a>, as open source – an unconventional move for corporate America.</p>

<p>The video and transcript of an interview I gave at <a href="http://qcon.infoq.com/sanfrancisco-2007/speaker/Brian+Zimmer">QCon 2007</a> are now <a href="http://www.infoq.com/interviews/Architecture-Brian-Zimmer">available</a>.</p>
