I cannot believe it's already been a month since I started my new job. Guess the old adage about time flying when you are having fun is true. I am having a blast at my new job and Artisan is an awesome place to work. In addition to truly loving what you do at work and your co-workers, having a view like this really helps make it an awesome place to work.

The view from my desk overlooks Lake Michigan, Discovery World and the SummerFest grounds which host the World’s Largest Music Festival.
By the way, we are hiring developers. If you're interested in learning more, drop me an email using the contact form on this blog and I can fill you in and provide additional details.
