Happy Fourth of July!

This is my first Fourth of July since I became a citizen of this great nation, and I wanted to just pass on a word to my fellow Americans to have a great holiday doing what we do best, being Americans!

Whether you find yourself grilling on your back yard with family or friends, or going to see a fireworks display, be sure to stop for a moment and reflect what today is all about and to recognize and give thanks to those who made this country great before us.

Also, special thanks to the brave men and women in our armed forces serving in harm's way.

Happy Fourth of July!

More Changes - Phill 2.0

I'm proud to announce that after Phill 1.0 was upgraded to Phill 1.5 (codenamed ResidentAlien) back in 1989 we have finally moved to Phill 2.0 (codenamed AmericanCitizen)!!!

My oath ceremony took place yesterday at 11:00 am in Baltimore, MD. Thanks for my family and three great friends (Nic Tunney, Scott Stroz, and Simon Horwith) for coming out and being in my cheering section (literally!!!)

Exciting Changes

I'm happy to announce that I have recently joined the great folks at AboutWeb as a Software Architect. I have had the pleasure of working with Nic Tunney, Jim Collins, Simon Horwith, Kelly Brown and Scott Stroz on different occasions in the past and I'm very excited that we are all now under the same roof. I'm also going to be working with great developers like Chris Turner, Javier Julio, and Jon Rowny.

This recent move will allow me to be even more involved in the community while at the same time being able to keep creating great software as a testament of the power of ColdFusion and other Adobe Technologies like FLEX.

Correction (good catch Kelly):

I have mistakenly forgotten someone who I have also enjoyed and had the honor to working with in the past and look forward to working with in the future, that's Jim Collins (my apologies buddy).

Brasil 1 - 0 Croatia...

Normally you won't see me post personal and non-technical entries on this blog... but as some of you know, I am originally from Brasil and when it comes to the World Cup Soccer Tournament I get very passionate about it.

Today Brasil played their first round one game against Croatia, final score... 1-0 Brasil. I wish I had seen more goals but hey, a victory is a victory, and I hope this is just them warming up.

If you work in the Rockville, MD area and you are a big Brasil soccer fan let me know.. I'll be watching most weekday games at the Brazillian BBQ place called Greenfields (off Rockville Pike).
