I've been working in Rafael for a total of 5 years now and I guess my tenure here is nearing its end.  The latest company-wide reorg has brought with it the end of the biometric product line (or maybe just its evolution into something I don't really like - it isn't completely clear yet, but since I don't like both option it doesn't rally matters).

I am checking several possibilities of joining one of the consulting companies here in Israel - none of the options has fully matured as of yet but I believe that in the next month or so something will be finalized - meanwhile I am also open for other options (my CV is on the about page - hint, hint :) ).

In any event, between the book, DDJ, InfoQ and looking for a new job (not to mention my family) I sure have have my hands full - I guess now I understand why they say "may you live in interesting times" is an old Chinese curse :)
