			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I&#8217;ve mentioned on Twitter &amp; Facebook, I&#8217;m back to doing Ruby &amp; Rails fulltime.</p>
<p>Joining Google took me out of the Rails community &amp; largely out of the Ruby community.  At least until very recently when I joined a Rails project (yes, at Google.. who&#8217;da thought).</p>
<p>As noted on my blog last spring, I had the rug pulled out from under me with a sudden onset of diabetes.</p>
<p>With all that I pretty much pulled an Austin Powers and went into cold storage for a year &amp; a half.</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;ve thawed out and am back at it&#8230; Ruby, Rails, and hanging with peeps at conferences.  Look for me on speaker lists before too much longer.</p>
<p>After GoGaRuCo and RailsConf, I&#8217;m back, motivated, and enthused like never before.</p>
