I updated my copy of Adium instant messenger today, and after it installs, it presents me with this message:

After reading it, i had no idea what to do. The question starts out “Do you want to allow access…” and the action buttons are “change/dont change”. I knew that one button would probably grant the new version access to my IM account passwords, while the other would deny it. I ended up picking a random option and it happened to be the right one (no whammys!)

But for a good reason. I have accepted a full time position as Director of User Experience for a social-based web 2.0 startup in Honolulu, HI. The company is called Blue Lava Technologies, and we’ll be developing some break-through technology that will change the way you interact with your photos.

I have been working on the sister website, Kindfish.com for the past few months, and we’re about to roll-out some awesome new features as well as some social aspects that will make it a lot of fun to use.

With that said, I’ve decided to focus my future blog topics around social/web 2.0 user experience so that i can blog my thoughts and learnings as I go.
