Just like it sounds

When I left the Googs almost 6 months ago, I pretty much knew the sort of thing I wanted to do next: A product management role at small startup in San Francisco working on personal content web products where I could help with the tactical decisions for an individual product but also work on bigger picture bidness.

Also, I wanted to work with people who, en route to taking over the world, could enjoy a good 5 hour riff on a punchline-free joke about a baked potato.

I'm happy to say I've found my dream job - next Monday I'm going to work at Obvious as Director of Product Strategy and I'm very excited.

I've got some thoughts I'd like to share later about what I've learned in taking time off ... the short version is: it's highly recommended. But I'm stoked to be able to go work on concrete things again with a bunch of folks I dig. Should be good times.
