My Thoughts on the Adobe-Macromedia Deal
It is pretty clear from the acquisition that Adobe is going to be making a major push into web media. They have tried a few times with tools like InDesign and LiveMotion to make some progress, but Macromedia has been extremely successful at fending off their attacks with Dreamweaver and Flash. As a result, Adobe has been able to rule the desktop publishing market and Macromedia has been able to rule the web content market. The mix of the two companies is going to make one hell of a powerful media creation beast. Ok, but that is the obvious stuff. Obviously anyone who buys out Macromedia wants Flash, because Flash is what Macromedia is all about. What else might this mean?

Cool SOA Job Openings
I attended a monthly local IT organization meeting where some of the new guys in town from Gestalt LLC gave a presentation on what their company is all about. Gestalt is a company focused on high end iteroperability and does a ton of DoD work that is suprisingly interesting. If you are looking for a job doing bleeding edge SOA/Webservice work, they have two positions to fill in their new Joplin, Missouri offices right down the street. I highly recommend heading over to http://www.gestalt-llc.com/ and sending in a resume. They are a solid company that does millions of dollars worth of SOA work every year and are looking for top notch people. Joplin is a great place to live by the way. It is definately the most affordable area I have ever been in. You can build or buy a nice 3 bedroom house for under or around 100k or rent a nice 3 bedroom house for around $600-800/mo. Can't beat that.
