Well, we're not out on the street yet, and it's not 2001. And, I actually have some ideas that I want to look at if 6A isn't doing them. Thanks for the good wishes.

Uh, that's a horrible order for bar hopping. Walking across South Park drunk after getting the axe? No, thank you.

Sorry, KWillets. Hope it's not my fault for deleting my LiveJournal back in the day. As for the Wired folks, I'm still a subscriber. So you can't blame me. Instead you should blame yourselves for calling for the death of print media for over a decade. Yeah, sorry what happened with HotWired.

Ciaran: you'd think so, but what's this? http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/11/05/BULJ13PJ5C.DTL A philanthropy startup? Ugh...

Oh man. That is terrible news, KWillets. Seriously. Hope you're dong OK all things considered. I hope things look brighter real soon. I'm sure they will.

Yep, I'm one of the 16. They actually have OK revenue, but chickened out of some other fairly critical revenue sources.

I'm sure this isn't the last of it. All those social networking sites with no revenue are going to be shedding people when fresh investment dries up...
