Its not actually that its boring work, to be honest.  I have been through 2 brand new architecture/board-design bootups, been responsible for some nice chunks of the base OS platform for use throughout the whole transport industry, worked with some luminaries when it comes to safety-critical development, and had a very comfortable time.  After the catastrophic plane crash of the German experience, I must say that this stint was a very significant refresher.

This move is more because I lust to build creative things.  Base OS for rail safety is *not* the place for creativity.

Android too!  But *not* WinPhone!
