Today JotSpot announces it's acquisition by Google. (Press Release is here.) This deal has been in the works for quite some time, and has been a lot of work to get things ready. So if I've seemed to be a bit crazy recently, that's why. (Okay, who am I kidding, that's not why--- I'm just naturally neurotic.)

It's a big relief to all of us to finally see it close and get announced so that we can discuss it and start to explore all of the possibilities that we think this new direction will open up for us. Unfortunately Google is a secretive place, so going forward there is little I'll be able to discuss with folks outside Google about what I'm doing.

This also means that starting next week I will be a real honest-to-heck Google Employee, reporting to the main Mountain View campus, fighting over parking spots and eating free bananas. (Truth be told, the free bananas are all I ever really wanted out of this.)
