Explain Yourself, Mr. Wilson

About a month ago, I expressed a bit of annoyance at 106 Miles’ definition of “entrepreneurial engineers” as it related to restricting attendance to the 106 Miles events. As my current title is “Product Manager” at PGP, my engineering background was apparently null and void.

Well, the squeaky wheel gets the speaker spot. I’ll be speaking at the next event on May 18th, along with Jeremy Zawodny and one as-yet-unnamed individual. The topic? “The Dark Side: why engineers become PMs, marketers, and salespeople.”

Search your feelings, young hacker…you know it to be true: you will join the Dark Side!

(Oh, and thanks to Troutgirl for the opportunity!)

Now We Are 30

I had my 30th birthday this weekend. Hmm. That seemed to come around awfully quickly. Not that it’s a bad thing, but it just seemed odd that it was just another day. What’s the big deal?

Remind me again – when do I turn into an adult?
