This is quite awesome, must be celebrated next year!
Magic to Kobe. D. Rose dapping MJ. The whole commercial…chills.
NBA realizes they have some PR issues to address. This ad is a great start. Bulls/Lakers finish on Christmas day didn’t hurt either. D Rose floater was so so sweet
Sports are special. People who don’t get that instantly may never get it, but watching this video is literally heartwarming to me. I get to watch a love story in two minutes and seriously had goose bumps the second Bird kicked it out to Jesus.
Not only that, but the CliPpers (CP) are going to be amazing this year – a team I have proudly cheered on since my original trip to LA in 2001 when Darius Miles and Quentin Richardson were giving people reasons to cheer at Staples when Kobe had an off night. I was in the building on April 22, 2006, when the Clippers won their first playoff game in 13 years. My friends and I became superfans of Chris Kaman because he A: performed admirably and B: was an ugly muther who was entertaining as hell in all of his interviews. Now, its all changed. We have the best and most exciting young forward and point guard in the game, whom could literally heard cats on the court if he damn well pleased.
Lob City… Here we come!
Making the Jump
Today, I quit my job in the best way possible.
Allan and I made a pact that if LayerVault could pay my rent, I’d make the jump and work full time. “Ramen profitable.” Two months after we launched at FOWA in London, I’m happy to say that time has come. We’re going to see this through. I am so proud of what Allan and I have been able to accomplish in two months. I can’t wait to see where we’ll be in another four.
Starting early next year, I’m going to put myself to the test. I’ve booked a one-way ticket to Berlin, my home base in Western Europe. My goal is to keep traveling east while putting in 60-hour weeks on LayerVault.
Now is an incredible time in history, especially for guys like me. Us developers are a weird class of folk: once relegated to our sunless parents’ basements, we’re now the most mobile class in the world. I’m going to put that to the test.
I’m not sure when I will come back to NYC exactly. Could be month. Could be six. In the meantime, Allan and I will continue building the foundation of a great software company. A solid business. With profits. Ten year plans instead of ten month runways. Our customers love us and we’re going to continue to make the best tools for designers out there. I’ll be posting pictures of progress on LayerVault and of my adventures around the world.
Here’s to the crazy ones.

Kelly Sutton is a shining star of awesome & hacker. Couldn’t be more proud to see him come from LMU and continue to dominate everything he puts his mind to. Especially can’t wait to see what comes next, both for Kelly and his amazing company, LayerVault

When the hell was this built and why has nothing been updated since 2004?!
Really impressed with the Fostering Cleantech Innovation in Los Angeles event at The La Kretz Innovation Campus
Macintosh SSD! So Happy… So Fast!
Will give a slightly more in depth report after a day of work tomorrow.
Damn it feels good to take the covers of this. Water Planet Engineering’s brand new website
I love this day, I love my family, and I love my friends. Cheers to all on this wonderful day of being thankful for all the good things in each of our lives.
Sunday afternoon hike around the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area outside of Atlanta. Thank you to beautiful weather, amazing company, and the new iPhone 4S camera.
Business Development at a new technology Startup usually means a lot of things. Right now, it means get it done. In the last couple days I have finished our webpage, created a company wide financial review and projections, and put together investor/partner presentation on an amazing new service/system that we will offer.
Over the last couple months - getting things done has meant staying up very late, coming in very early, and skipping things I wish I had time for (hanging out with friends, missing a day of a trip I wish I could be a part of, and especially going to Crossfit, which I should appologize to M as much as myself).
Times of happiness and accomplishment are few and far between. There is much more hustle, stress, and worry in startups and in my life. So, I just wanted to take a second to remind myself, the next time that I am going a little crazy from working long hours and not feeling like the world, let alone my company notices – good times do come, but you have to earn them. Now, get it done.
