My apologies if this post seems at all vain. I'm posting mostly for family and friends who are interested. Few others will care at all, except for perhaps my supposed fan club in Italy...
Back in July when the ads first debuted via email, I had no idea just how much more the ads would circulate. I got a good laugh when David Robinison said:
"This afternoon I got a couple of emails in my inbox with Macromedia's new MAX ad campaign. They both begin "MAX is..." and have the names of MAX 2005 speakers. I got Angela Buraglia and Justin Everett-Church. (They seem like little trading cards in some ways...collect 'em all!)"
Since then, variations of the ad have appeared on sys-con.com's site and full page ads inside the MX Developers Journal (Volume 3 Issue 7), just inside the back cover of ColdFusion Developer's Journal (July 2005 Volume:7 Issue:7 & August 2005 Volume:7 Issue:8), and just two pages away from being the centerfold of the Special Issue: Studio 8 edition of the MX Developer's Journal (Volume 3 Issue 8).
I've been told the ad will also appear on webdeveloper.com and a devx.com and possibly others but I haven't seen them yet. If you happen to spot me somewhere please let me know.
I've uploaded a copy of the original email blast, the sys-con site's ads, and a PDF copy of the full page magazine ad if you're curious.
Long before I was ever a web developer, I was an aspiring actress turned makeup artist for film. I never expected to make it in print work! ;-)

It was this picture of you that led me to your website initially. I am a sucker for beautiful women, and you are strikingly beautiful. Also I found your story of transitioning from a model to a developer inspiring. Here I have a CS degree and I don't know how to do any of the things that you taught yourself (and quite well) to do.
So (since you brought it up), is Dan your ex that you are still involved with, or somebody "new"? If so, I'm curious how much Dan had to do with you not being married anymore ... <- don't answer that>. I have a three year old child and I sometimes wonder how difficult it would be to separate from my wife and spend the next 15 years raising her together/apart. Especially since as it is she'll ask where mommy is when mommy is not around already, like when mommy is having some alone time at a spa or some such. Don't get me wrong; I love my wife but sometimes a man's mind will wander. Anyway, I hope life is treating you well and that you and your son are adapting to your newfound situation. Heck, for all I know you left your husband years ago :-S I know you did the right thing - you are awesome and deserve the best!
Dan is my boyfriend, who plays golf (on XBOX) with my ex husband (Ambrogio). It was rough at first, but now everyone gets along really well. My son's handling it all very well too. He's a lucky boy to have a Dan and a Dad that love him. :-) (We've been divorced for over a year, separated for about 2 1/2 yrs.) ~Angela

Heya! I'll be there! Looking forward to saying hello, if chance permits.
Great! Do say hello. Time will permit if you make it so ;-) ~Angela

Nothing sicko here, except to say...YOU'RE HOT! To bad your married.
Oh my... Dare I confess to not being married anymore? I guess I just did. Don't get any hopes from that news; I am still very much "taken"/"spoken for", by Dan. Thanks for the compliment though! ~Angela

I'll trade you for it! ;-) ~Angela
