Time lapse of a gorgeous Chad Pugh illustration from start...
This drawing could not be more correct. Somedays the blogosphere is just a live feed of what goes on with people associated with connected ventures. But, there is not a man more deserving of the attention than the big Pugh.
This is amazing. Go buy one.
Why I Love Vimeo
I remember working with this guy on these issues. It’s a lot of fun to solve problems like that in real time. I’m going to miss being able to work on that side of the API fence.
Ugly computer

Ugh. Hideous. Don't let them treat you so bad.
The computer may be ugly, but that keyboard sure is beautfiul! I love (both of) my Happy Hacking Keyboards!
so glossy!
gotta love color-theme-arjen in that Emacs instance ;)

Are you at Benny's burritos?
Yep, you sure know your burrito joint kitsch.
Farewell, not a goodbye.
Tomorrow, April 18th, is my last day at vimeo.com.
I was hired by Jakob after being interviewed by him and Pile. I promptly gave 3 weeks notice at my previous employer and recommended that Vimeo also hire my longtime friend and coworker. They did. We started on the same day.
When I started we all worked from the founders' apartment, in Zach's old room. It was a lot of fun. 1

Soon after that, we moved into our new (and current) office, which previously housed parts of ask.com. We were total pros.

Over the next few months, Vimeo gained some new friends. We also lost some others, who went on to bigger and brighter things.
For one more day, I get to come into work and work on some of the coolest stuff on the web. With some of smartest and funniest and nicest people you could ever wish to meet.
It's been wonderful. I'm proud of what we've done here and excited for what they'll continue to do without me. We introduced the web to HD, we built fancy APIs, we grew and grew and grew. It's only getting better.
Yes, I'll continue to post awesome videos and hang out in the API forum answering questions. And, no, I won't let any of my fans down.

It's going to be pretty strange. Monday will be the first day in over 8 years that I haven't worked with Peter. I'm sure I'll still ask his opinion on obscure database configurations and on where I should go to lunch, but we'll have to start hanging out after work. (Chicago Cubs, if you're listening, you could make that a lot easier by winning).
I'm sad to be leaving and excited for what is to come. It's funny how that works, you can never just feel one way. You're always happy for someone else and sad for yourself or super hungry, but nothing sounds good. Just once, it'd be nice to have it all worked out.
I'm sure it goes without saying, which means I'm going to say it now: I'm honored and humbled to have worked with the amazing people at Vimeo, College Humor and Busted Tees. Just like every other day since I started here, I can't wait to come to work tomorrow.

That image is my web analytics for the day so far. Stumbleupon just noticed my main site for some reason.
Yesterday I woke up to a death metal band practicing outside my dorm.It’s Say Anything for a new generation.
