Pookie Powers were instantly activated on April 25, 2000 when we met for the very first time at the Xando (now unfortunately Cosi) at the Courthouse Metro in Arlington, VA. Since then, our power has spread far and wide with its epicenter now positioned in Broomfield, CO. And the Pookie Nation has grown to include one more.

The start of this blog marks the five year anniversary of the official Pookie union. With many years ahead, the power knows no bounds!

Miracles Abound!

In a miraculous turn of events, I got laid-off from DoubleClick this week courtesy of the Google overlords. Sure, I was crying in my Cheerios for about a day, but now I sees it truly was a MIRACLE! My severance package will provide me with almost fully paid maternity leave, and I now have the opportunity to pursue my own consulting business which I've thought about doing for a while.

I'll also have the chance to stay home with baby Jacob at least part-time, and won't need to leave him to fly all over the country for work.

My consulting will focus mainly on projects involving training and documentation, and I also have skill in software usability testing.

Any suggestions for business names???
