Branden will be giving his talk on "Brilliant Ideas that I've Blatently Stolen" at Flash on the Beach which runs from September 28 - October 1. Branden will be speaking on Monday, September 29 so if you are there, be sure to catch his session!

Automata Studios is proud to announce the hiring of Maureen Farrington (that's me!), project manager extrordinaire.  Branden likes to add the title "Producer" to describe my position since my job will consist of "making things happen" as I ease into actual code-producing duties.

This is my first foray back into world of hardcore IT after spending three years working in higher education for a local university.  Prior to that I worked for a colocation facility, hence the homecoming for me.  I'm especially excited to be at a place where interesting ideas are valued over maintaining the status quo.

Branden and Keenan do simply amazing work here, and I have learned something new each day I've been here for the last two weeks.  I am looking forward to contributing all I can to Automata.

Oh, and now that I'm here, this site is going to be updated more frequently.
