HUMAN Experience Design

So, my current long-term gig is up at the end of May and I’ll be looking for a new contract. Specifically, I’d like to find something that can be done nearly 100% remotely.

If you know anyone who could use a UI expert with technical expertise in Flash / Flex / Ajax / JSP and (currently learning) Silverlight - please send them over to my public profile on linkedIn here : http://www.linkedin.com/in/johnm. They can contact me through linkedIn.

I’m currently in Boston, but may be moving around soon, which is why I think telecommuting is the best possible option for me. 

I have to give big props to a company from my home state of Maine, who’s helping the world go greener - in a user friendly way. Hallowell International of Bangor Maine has invented an air to air heat pump that works in cold climates. That’s big, huge news.

A heat pump heats and cools basically the same way your refrigerator does. It uses compressors to exchange heat with the air. They run on electricity alone (negating the need for fossil fuels), and are way more efficient than propane , oil, or straight electric heat. Up until Hallowell, the systems could only be used in Southern climes and required an outdoor air temp of at least 30 degrees F to operate.
