I am invited to join Microsoft’s "WM Owners Circle Forum" Moderator Team!

I was recently invited to join the Moderator Team at Microsoft’s “Window’s Mobile Owner’s Circle” forums by my good friend Jack Cook, and it goes without saying that I readily accepted! 

I will be working with the existing team members: Jack Cook (whom I work with currently at MobilitySite), Laura Rooke (whom I was honored to work with at MoblityToday way back when), Johan van Mierlo, Linley Meslier, and Mina Mistry.  

Below is Jack Cook’s announcement:

Hi Everyone!

 
I wanted to pass on to you that today we have added a new moderator to our midst.  David Matson, aka Elrendhel, will now be part of our group offering support to users we spend so much time with. 

Laura and I have known and worked with “Elrendhel” for years, so we know firsthand the kind of support he offer us.  He will be a great addition to our team!  Initially when we started the forums, when ever there was a question on Wi-Fi, I would ask David if he could jump in and help out and of course, he always would.  Well it appears as if he likes it here and has agreed to jump in often.David, it is again a great pleasure and a unique privilege to once again be working with you.  Thank you for agreeing to spend some time with us!

So now we have two mods on the east coast (Johan and me), two on the West coast (Laura and David) and one (Linley) on the other side of the globe basking in the sun on the Island of Mauritus.  Life is good and it becomes better every day when I look at who I am working with.  I am appreciative of all the efforts from all of you.  Not only are you helping the users that visit but I am learning an immense amount from all of you …. That is very cool!

Thank you for the warm greetings and kind words Jack, it is good to know that I am once again amongst good friends!

The passing of Clyde Matson

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my father, Clyde Matson.  

Dad was enlisted in the US Army prior to the death of his Mother at age 16, and participated in the Korean War, which he survived.  He met and married my mother, Jackie Matson, and is now survived by her, as well as his three children: Christina, Karen, and myself. 

He is due to be interred in a VA cemetary in Fair Oaks during a family burial, with a Memorial Services will be held a later date, to be determined by my mother.

UPDATE: The VA cemetary in Fair Oaks is full, and the next nearest VA cemetary is in Dixon.  Also, the date of the Memorial Service has changed.  I will update these specifics once I have more information myself…

15 Years of Service…

Well, today marks the 15th year that I have worked for the phone company. 

Originally, I worked for Pacific Bell, which was later (in approximately 1997) purchased by SBC Communications, which later bought AT&T (in 2005).

New Website infrastructure complete!

Now that the overal infrastructure of the new website is complete, I am now going to focus on getting some of the aesthetics taken care of.   I think I will focus initially on getting the Picture Gallery back in working order, then work on the index page menu bars (left-side and top).

A Visit with Ama & Papa

Well, Jana and Ryan are now safely in Southern California visiting her parents. So, I of course have a whole lot of free time on my hands. I figured now would be a good time to perform some much needed work on the new website. It’s been sorely overdue. I have completed the infrastructure and framework for the new site, you’re seeing it now. Additional pages will be added as time permits….

The Matson Family Website is now Up & Working!

Excellent news! I’ve finally finished the new menu system that will be utilized on the new High-bandwidth website! This is the first step towards a whole new website that will be optimized for faster computers, running higher resolutions and faster internet connections (Note: You’ll probably want a DSL or faster connection to view this portion of the website at satisfactory speeds).
