Future

Today, I start a new chapter. Due differences in opinion that have developed over the last several months, I've decided to leave Delicious Monster and move on.

It's been a whirlwind of 15 months at the company, which I've worked at since the day we opened for business. But my history with Delicious Monster goes back even further back...

If I was overly narcissistic, I might even claim credit for its roots; I first introduced Mike and Andrew Kazmierski (the original developer of Library) only a few years ago. I'm not sure that the extended history of Delicious is on the books anywhere, but it actually grew out of a company that was originally going to be called MAD Softworks (standing for: Mike, Andrew, Drew). Thank goodness that name didn't stick.

Wil joined on shortly afterwards and I fell behind with my own projects and finishing high school -- but not before giving up my G4 Cube to the company, which went on to single handedly serve up the first day's $56 thousand of business. (Andrew too had a full plate outside of Delicious and dropped off the bill a little after than me.)

Just as Delicious Library launched, I joined back up after being the #1 beta tester by bugs fixed and (if you excuse the cliché) the rest is history.

But the real point is - I've been really invested in this thing for nearly the last two years. And although I've been bracing myself for over a week now, it's still both a shock and a relief to finally let this off my shoulders.

Now to turn the page and start something new.
