So apparently today is the happiest day of the year. It is the start of the first weekend of my engaged life. I think the study is pretty spot on.
I wish you Happy Happiest Day of the Year.

On June 19, 2008, I became officially engaged according to Facebook.
But the actual date was June 18, 2008. I love you, Pat.
Can’t wait for what’s next, baby.
I’ll post some details soon…

Today was my last day with kajeet. For a year and a half, I’ve been a part of a rock star engineering team, experienced the start-up life, launched a number of services, and most importantly made some really good friends. It was cool to see our product on the shelves on Best Buy and hearing from real customers how excited they were about the service we built. It was hard to say good bye but I thought it was time for my next adventure.
I’ve taken a job at Clearspring Technologies. They support syndication and tracking of widgets or, to describe what they do technically, apply the “Write once, run anywhere” slogan of Java to the web and widgets as “Write once, embed everywhere”.
I start this Monday and I’m excited for the opportunity to be working in this space and with this team.

For those of us who get little red envelopes today, happy new year!

Last week, I attended Social Matchbox DC with Brent and Brendan.
We all thought it would be a showcase of startups around the DC talking about the cool things they are doing. To our surprise it was more of a job fair than a social gathering. However, they had free pizza so I can’t complain too much. Still, it’s refreshing to see there is a startup community in the DC area, where it seems like everyone and their uncle work for the government. Clearspring and Freewebs were both there. I tried out making a widget on Clearspring’s platform and making a web site using Freewebs a while back. Both are very cool companies.
Although the DC area is more of a Government Valley, I wish there were more venues that allow startups and hackers get together around the area.
