New Challenge: Enterprise Architecture at Caesar's Entertainment, Las Vegas, NV
I have a brand new challenge and am excited to announce that my wife and I have relocated to Las Vegas, NV, where I have taken on a new role as a Senior Enterprise Architect for Caesars Entertainment. The sheer scope of the concept of "enterprise" at Caesars Entertainment, which employs over 70,000 people on four continents, takes me to a whole new level of architecture. I will be integrating many technologies from very old, simple, and low-level to very new, complex, and highest-level. My new position also requires that I learn a very interesting new enterprise-level messaging tool chain, the TIBCO products, particularly Enterprise Messaging Services (EMS), Rendezvous, BusinessEvents and BusinessWorks. So, I will have my hands full getting used to real enterprise architecture and integration and will happily share this experience with you, the faithful readers of this weblog!

Resume Dream Catchers
For your historical, or hysterical, information, here are some interesting release dates that can help you catch those "embellished" resumes. As of August, 2009, anyone who claims to have ten or more years experience with .NET had better have a matching "Microsoft" entry on their resume. If not, they either must have worked for one of the MS Elite level partners or should utter the magic acronyms “NGWS“ and “ASP+“! Likewise, any non Microsoftie who claims 13 or more years experience using Visual Studio should be regarded with suspicion! More than 10 years of XML? Did they work for the W3C, perhaps? If not, well, ....
