See ya in 2 weeks
I'm leaving on Sunday for Switzerland for two weeks. I've written about a million lines of code in the past couple weeks (no joke!) and got a lot done, but now it's time to step back for a few weeks to checkout another part of the world.
Before I get into some plans, I really have to give a big shoutout to the Yardbarker.com team. We've come a long way and are wrapping up a sweet new redevelopment of the site. On top of that, we've scored a sweet strategic partnership with VERSUS (the cable channel that covers indy car, nhl, and some other great things) recently that's going to keep us alive and kicking for some time yet ;) I'd recommend every sports fan out there to keep an eye out for some awesome Yardbarker stuff coming out soon. Everyone on the team has worked ridiculously hard, and it's such an honor to be part of it all.
Another big shout goes to Joe and the work he's done with Browseology. He's done some ridiculous amounts of code, and has motivation and passion for the product that is awe inspiring. It's always fun and exciting to work on something with someone as dedicated and excited as you are.
We've been pushing hard for feedback recently, and everyone we know has been really tolerant of our constant talk and pitching so far. We couldn't have done it without everyone's great suggestions and comments. We've come a long way from developing that small proof of concept of being able to collaborate with zero installation and setup that we pitched to Paul Graham and the rest of the YCombinator team at the summer 2009 interviews, and now to a budding shopping destination that brings together shopping research and social networks together. Shopping with someone across the world can now be possible =) We're still cranking away and have no fewer than a hundred new ideas and features coming out soon. If you guys are interested, we have a blog: http://browseology.posterous.com, and more importantly visit the actual site (comon now): http://browseology.com.
I'm addicted to coding, so there's no doubt that on the plane and on train rides I'll be coding away for Yardbarker and Browseology. I'll be posting photos as often as I can here! So be ready for geeky blog posts, photo posts, and randomness.
Switzerland Plans:
- June 1 - June 4: Zurich, Switzerland
- June 4 - June 6: Luzern, Switzerland
- June 6 - June 8: Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

And I'll be back. Quick trip, but it'll be fun.
ps. photos at the top of the post were taken when I went up to the Marin Headlands and to the palace of fine arts with my buddy Jeston.
