Hey man, I was an intern at Yahoo! last summer and I asked you why, with all your talents, you wouldn't want to work on your own company/startup. You answered you'd never leave Yahoo!; obviously that's a hyperbole. But I have to say, never came pretty fast. What happened?
Doing your own thing / startup isn't all its cracked up to be. 90% of the people I know doing it are chasing money, and I don't want to dedicate my life to that. Too short to just make money, I'd rather enjoy the ride, and love what I do.
I won't get into the reasons why I left, lets just say politics and environment. Last year was pre-M$ deal too.
I hope you're doing well, and I you enjoyed the video. I made it as a memento for myself looking back in 20 years :) and for my fellow nerd folk to enjoy.

Definitely enjoyed it, forwarded it to all the other interns I worked with :)
Too bad you're leaving us, but good luck man :)
Where did you get that Y! branded wizard's hat by the way?

:) thanks.
I worked with the HackU event, and those were the first place prized for 2009. One group was only 3 instead of 4, so I stole the last one.
When I'm doing the event, I wear it everywhere. Going through airport security with it on, is very fun ;)

I competed in Hack-U at UW this year! I was surprised to see a familiar face in the movie.
After Yahoo!, what is next for you?
