Insert Work Plug Here

So what have I been up to lately? Well, the product I've been working on for the past year or two, Yahoo! Messenger, came out with a new version! (Granted, it's in beta, which means it's not totally official. Still, try it out and submit feedback!)

What did I work on? I'm the visual designer on the project, so I work primarily on the look and feel - that is, the overall aesthetics, the layout and interface design, and "skins". I also did a couple icons and illustrations here and there, including ol' Mr. Smiley on the right, and some other stuff. (Alas, I don't work on the animated emoticons or IMVironments.) There are some pretty darn nifty features with this release, like built-in LAUNCHcast and classic Yahoo! Games.

What else has been keeping me occupied? Well, I'm memorizing the Super Mario Bros theme on the piano, so I can end up like this guy.

The success of Messenger 6.0 can be attributed to the great, superfluous management style of da awesome and funny Matte.
