Finally A Xenon Website

Well I guess the feedback from the reunion show was so positive that the band decided to bring it into the 21st century and bring back their website from the dead.  A long time ago they had a site on the young internet, but that has been down for years, and left the Xenon fans searching for a home.  Well, now we have a home.

As for the reunion show, it was an absolute blast.  I tried to get all philosophical and come up with this great literary piece that would try to explain the way I felt at the show, but my writing skills are lacking, and couldn’t do it justice.  Lets just say that buried between the factories in Linden, in the shadows of the Goethals Bridge, with the New York City Skyline in the distance, there was an event that you just had to be at to truly understand.  Some called it a Xenon reunion, but I think that for those in attendance it was more of a reunion with our collective pasts.  It’s been a long time since the days that Xenon roamed the NJ/NYC clubscene.  Enough time to grow up, get a job, get married, have kids, and yes forget where we came from.  Sometimes it does a person good to relive those times, when things where fun and all was perfect (well maybe that’s just the way we remember it).  So much has changed since then, and all we had to do that night is look up at the NYC skyline to remember the biggest change of all.

About donxml

I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
