I've been working for about.com on a few projects for the last three years, but am leaving today. It's one of the digital properties of the New York Times Company, a most progressive and enjoyable employer.
Most of my time has been with consumersearch.com, which has been quite an adventure. It is a pretty useful site, I must admit, mainly because of the great team behind it. They've attracted top talent in all their departments and it has been a pleasure working with such an intelligent and friendly group of professionals.
It was quite an education in building large and reliable Drupal sites, too. Few Drupal sites have had the amount of traffic the site has achieved. Best wishes to everyone there for continued success.
When it gets into the triple digits around the farm, everyone does what they can to keep cool. 
Ah, it's finally starting to feel like the holidays. I normally do this the day after Thanksgiving, but between bouts of bad weather and the difficulty of finding things after cleaning up the garage last summer, time dragged on.
