Even if you're a casual New Architect reader, you've likely noticed that a new mug is staring out at you from above these words. I'm pleased to inherit the leadership of the magazine from my esteemed colleague Amit Asaravala. And while I'm not big on introductions, a few words of prologue seem in order, if for no other reason than to convince you that this magazine is in good hands.
My background includes editorial stints at Smart Business and LAN Times magazines, and before that, I put in several years in software development and IT management. I have an MBA from The University of Texas at Austin (and was born and raised in Houston), but speak with no trace of a southern accent.
I've been steeped in the Internet since the only "browser war" was between you and your copy of Mosaic. On a dare, I launched the movie review Web site FilmCritic.com in 1995, and much to my astonishment, the site is still kicking today. From my catbird seat, I get to observe the Internet as it impacts everything—business, entertainment, pop culture, and mainstream society. It's the perfect vantage point for leading New Architect into a new era, one in which technology is no longer a curiosity, but a vital part of any thriving enterprise.
