DIGG IT! Today it is officially 1 year since I joined Adobe as a Technical Evangelist for Flex. Just 12 months ago I arrived in Newton, MA and met Christophe Coenraets, Jeff Whatcott, Phil Costa, and David Mendels in person.

Ted :)
Congrats Ted - I should just walk over and say that in person, shouldn't I :)
Congratulations on your first year, Ted! I'll also have to leverage the local Adobe Sneakernet(tm) and dole out congrats in person, too... ;-)
Congratulations Ted. Adobe is a great company and I think an even better one with you on board.
Mike G :-)
What a great year for you and Flex, your hard work is appreciated by many. On another note, happy b-day!
good job Ted! and thx for the posters! ;)
I agree with Mike G.
People like you make this company so interesting, beautifull, amazing and a lot more.
Congratulations Ted.
Slacker. Why haven't you invented an anti-gravity device, solved world hunger and created global peace in addition to your work load ;-)
Nice year dude!!! You deserve a granade award!
Duane
Congrats Ted.... That is a load and a half of work there in that list.... Probably many late nights I would imagine.
Hi Ted, I'm currently looking for a contract flex developer. Would you know anyone interested by any chance? thanks
