I guess it’s no secret, but I haven’t exactly spread it around the AFOL world
quite yet. So it’s time - more than time - to announce that I’ve taken a
position with The LEGO Group. My new role is Internet Content Manager for
BIONICLE, Racers, and Technic product lines.
This is the second time I’ve gone up for the job, the first interview was
chronicled in BrickJournal issue 4
(http://www.bzpower.com/Imaging/stories/Brickjournal4.pdf#page=81). It took
an extra year and a half, but I finally managed to schmooze my way in.
I started in Denmark last week, and I’ll be doing a significant amount of
travelling. The job itself is very nifty and busy, but I’m enjoying every
minute. I’d better, since it’s a finite contract - I’m filling in for the
previous webmaster (webmistress, really) who’s on maternity leave. So I’ll be
bouncing back and forth for the rest of 2007 and all of 2008.
I suppose I could post this as an ‘official’ LEGO announcement, but frankly I
haven’t managed to have The Talk about community interaction with the right
people within LEGO yet. So I’m posting this as Kelly McKiernan, Private
Citizen, not to be confused with an official LEGO communication. I don’t know
yet if the LEGO logo will appear on this post - it’s not supposed to. If it
does, please disregard it.
For the record, I’ve resigned from my admin position at BZPower to avoid any
potential conflict of interest. I will continue to run LEGOFan (and since one
of my desks is about 5 feet from Jan Beyer, that should now be much easier)
and ILENN - inasmuch as the latter needs running.
Just thought a few of you would like to know.

Over a year maternity leave? I’m moving to Denmark (and changing sex!)
congratulations
