Erik leaves Amazon.com (but doesn't tell where to go/what to do) and Brad joins Six Apart to work on PHP dynamic rendering in MT 3.1, a welcome development I and others have been harping about for a while. There are some things you want to do at rendering time while near-static performance can be achieved using templating and caching systems such as Smarty (which Brad showed how to integrate with MT a while ago -- this is what I'm using here though I'm far from making full use of it).

While we're at it, I see Michael McDaniel leaves Amazon.com's personalization team too for MSN to work on... personalization. Seems it's transfer season! Update: Alex Edelman too leaves Amazon.
