Excellent news. I ran into Russell at URL's (the cafeteria) on Friday and he told me the news: he's going to become a full-time Yahoo soon.

We also noted that it was really hard to believe that it's been three months since he started as a contractor (story).

Time flies when you're having fun, and we've both been doing a lot of that recently. :-)

Clip from the RussellBeattie.com Blog:

"So on Monday morning I'm going to trade in my blue Contractor badge, and swap it for a spanky indigo Employee badge and become a full timer at Yahoo! This just happened during the last couple of days. I was coming to the end of my current contract, and Y! extended a great offer to join full time and after some thought I decided to take it.

Though I'd love to start my own company or join a little startup already in progress, the opportunities at Yahoo are just too big to pass up. It's literally an opportunity to change the world, how can I say no?"
