Expanding Evangelism Role, NetBeans 5.5 Visual Web Pack

I'm used to writing more technical blogs and thought I would try, once again, to relay some personal, not-so-technical information.  As many of you know I've been the Java Studio Creator evangelist for almost one year now.  Thanks to all of you that have made that a very enjoyable job!  I'm now expanding my evangelism duties to cover more of NetBeans.  So probably a better title at this point would be "Java Tools Evangelist".  I guess I better order different business cards.  

"So what's with the new picture on the blog?"  This is a picture of me next to Juggy in the Czech Republic.  "What about the hat?"  The Czech Republic is very cold in November and I don't have any roofing (hair) so I needed some warmth.  A couple of my Sun co-workers/managers had hats like this so I just had to get one.  Yes it is very warm!  I was in the Czech Republic meeting NetBeans people.  Since I'll also be evangelizing the NetBeans 5.5 Visual Web Pack , I met up with the other NetBeans evangelists and NetBeans engineers.  While I was in Prague, Roman Strobl and Gregg Sporar recorded NetBeans Podcast Episode #17 live!  Roman dissed me trying to explain what wasn't in NetBeans 5.5 Visual Web Pack Technical Preview that was in Java Studio Creator. I'll get him back someday somehow.
Cheers for now!
