New job!

[Bill Jurasz]

Hey guys! I decided to leave AMD for a new opportunity at Apple, Inc. I'm a design verification engineer at their Austin Design Center. New work email: wjurasz@apple.com. That's all I'm allowed to say about my new job. :D

Way to go Bill! Great company. I almost worked there when they were heading towards bankruptcy back in 1996. Turned down the job when I found out things weren't as good as it sounded. Steve Jobs did an amazing job of righting the ship.

Do you get a free iPad? :)

[Bill Jurasz]

Thanks guys! No free iPad but I get a discount. I do, however, get a 15" MacBook Pro as my work computer, and it gets to go home with me and on vacations. :)

Congrats! Just don't leave your prototype iPhone in any bars.

They still do the sabbaticals? That was one benefit that was almost worth taking the job for.

[Bill Jurasz]

I didn't hear anything about sabbaticals. My last employer, AMD, had them in the recent past but they don't offer them anymore either.

Have a wonderful journey,

Just saw this, congratulations! And just in time not to have a local F1 race.

Its just amazing how f*cked up that situation is, isn't it? And equally amazing that little to none of it seems to be Bernie's fault. :D

I"m holding out hopes for a much more scaled back track that can cost much less money and yet still attract Moto GP, V8 Super Cars, and maybe ALMS, Grand Am or Indy Car.

[David Adolphus]

Bernie is a moral beacon for our times.

I think the V-8 Supercars is the only thing confirmed at this point, right? And of course they kind of need a track, Coulthard notwithstanding.

[Steve Stein]

Grand Am may be a stretch in 2013 unless they can pack in a lot of support races and maybe another road course NASCAR. Schedule for Grand Am in 2012 is missing VIR, which was a big surprise since that's a great track.

MotoGP is confirmed as well, I believe.

[David Adolphus]

Didn't it emerge that the MotoGP contract had never been finalized?

[Steve Stein]

I think they renamed the track Field of Dreams. Build it and they will come?

Bernie extended the deadline today until Dec 7.
