Re: [deng-talk] is anyone out there?

I certainly understand the conflict between the commercial projects and 
the side ones. It just appeared that there hadn't been much going on for 
a while, so I was wondering.

I've love to be included in your chat, and in keeping up on what you 
guys are up to in general. You seem to be up to some great work, and 
bridging the gap between standards and Flash is something that MM has 
been ignoring. I wish they'd hire you guys. In fact, I've asked MM in a 
couple of beta forums to do something with DENG, but no luck there.

Or hey, if you want to move to Seattle, my company needs a developer. We 
mostly do games for kids though. ;)
