Leaving CBS

After 3,057 days (8 years, 4 months and 12 days to be exact, but who's counting...) today is my last day at CBS.

It's been an intersting run. Though my title remained largely the same, I've had about as many jobs here as I've had years of service. Recalling back to the summer of 2000 with the first Survivor series I would never have guessed I would still be here in 2008, but you just go with the flow.

Leaving CBS in a completely different place than when I started, it's a real business now and with the CNET merger promises to be a much larger one. Certainly, I can not take credit for where we are, though I'd like to think I played at least a small role.

For all CTOs there comes a time where you've done all you can do and it's time for new challenges. It is good to leave at the right time both personally and professionally.

I'd like to thank everyone I've worked for and with over the years as I've learned a lot.

For those of you that worked in my varous areas: I'd especially like to thank you as you made me look good. I just played the role of the train conductor on the "small screen".

Staff with too much time on their hands

I've worked with some interesting folks at CBS over the last 8+ years, some of whom apparently have too much time on their hands.

Jason Ainspan, who always has a habit of finding the most 'unique' pictures and/or youtube clips to just about every situation put the following two things together for me. Best to start with this lead in here - I'm being played by Alex Baldwin and Jason is played by Affleck

This flash file in particular is, well, you have to see it yourself. I can not imagine listening to myself in the various places he found me speaking, let alone cutting the audio clips of all these words.
