I know, I know . . . I'm long overdue for a posting. Much has happened in the last six weeks. Here are the highlights:
I fought and beat cancer
Not much fun. I had two surgeries and five weeks of interferon therapy. But I'm cancer free with an excellent prognosis and oh so happy to be back to work. I was lucky that I caught it in time. Any rumors of my demise are in fact exaggerated!
The Easter Island Project continues
Check out the site: www.autodesk.com/easterisland There is a lot of new material up there now and more to come.
I have a new job here at Autodesk
I have been asked to keep the details of this move under wraps until my orientation / training is complete . . . so I cannot share details. I will say I am excited about it!
I cut my hair off
Yup, it's true - and it's all good too except now I have to go and get a new driver's license, passport and Autodesk ID. They all have photos of me with long hair and a goatee . . . I keep getting questioned about my ID in the airport!
My last post
It's true. My new job forces me to shut down the blog. This will in fact be my last post. My thanks to you all for your tuning in for the last two years. It's been fun - truly. A HUGE thank you to my editor Sandy for making me appear smarter than I am. Surround yourself with VERY smart people - I always have.
See you out there!
Pete
Lo lamentamos mucho, we hope you'll be good.

comming back, I have a friend who used a "broma" like this in the April Fool’s Day... two years later came true.
Hope not be so...

Good to hear you are ok.
New Job! Congratulations
Cant believe you cut your hair! Must be a VP job they offered you? That would explain the Stock price drop LOL Just kidding!

With your posts we learnt about the dirt, and also we learnt about geography with your travels.
I'm happy that you are fine and that's the important thing.
I wish you the best..... :-)
Un Abrazo desde el otro lado del Atlántico
