“Not saying goodnight…”

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Wow.  A whole month and a half of silent running.  Unless you’ve noticed the uptick in my Twitter traffic, you might think I’d passed from this mortal coil.  Yeah, I’m sure you all lost as much sleep thinking about the topic as I did.

Just sayin’.

Through this door....

Cool door, huh?  Well, behind it much time and energy has been spent, cranking out work for Weplay.  Work which has been actually getting in the hands of users, too (a small example).  I love that fact.  Too many times in my career I’ve done my best work only to watch it be doomed to the portfolio ghetto; only to be see the light of day on job interviews and those quiet nights when I want to reminisce and die a little inside.

Just sayin’.

I’m also happy to be working behind that door at a pretty exciting time in the relatively short history of the company.  There’s really an exciting air to the place.  The team has built a rather solid base, and has managed to organically grow the traffic and membership numbers, represented with a healthy upward arc.  And this past Tuesday the first of many publicity events took place with Derek Jeter introducing us to the nation on Good Morning America.  I have to say, that was pretty cool.

Just sayin’.

Well, there’s piles of paperwork to sort and receipts to organize.  Taxes to be paid and planning to be done.  Sleep to be missed and so on and so forth.

Not saying goodnight…just sayin’.
