Hipster Thanksgiving
This is all kinds of awesome.
When the time is just right, and the family is snuggled by the fire, I’m gonna fire this jambo up…
I’ve never seen anything like this and I’m at a loss for expletives to describe what this storm could do.

The Flat Design Era
When LayerVault 2 launched earlier this spring, we believed that we were taking a risk by pursuing an entirely flat interface.
Well-loved products on the web share a similar design aesthetic, with roughly the same kinds of bevels, inset shadows, and drop shadows. For designers, achieving this level of “lickable” interface is a point of pride. For us, and for a minority of UI designers out there, it feels wrong.
We certainly didn’t invent the flat style but arriving at it was a violent process. We tore through hundreds of revisions (we have the LayerVault timelines to prove it) to potential interfaces before arriving at the answer that now makes us say “of course.” The desk at LayerVault’s original headquarters (my Manhattan apartment) still has the battle scars from objects being slammed down in anger. At one point, while working on a mockup, a MacBook was slammed shut so hard it was nearly unhinged.
This is exactly how I’ve felt all my life as a designer. Each time a new wave of bubbly, beveled, glossed, gradiated, designs would appear on the web, I would sometimes feel insecure and want to go with the trend, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it.
I’d like to shake Glenn Frey’s hand for making this smooth jam…

This is a jam, thank me later…
I can’t wait to tell my son: “You’re complaining about a $600 iPad? I bought this Gateway 550mhz Monster for $2500 when I was your age.”

The last two years building and leading the TechStars NYC program have been an incredible time in my life. However, as with most journeys, the time has come for me to move on to the next challenge and take a step back from my day-to-day role as Managing Director of the TechStars NYC program….
Excited to see what Dave does next. He has been one our best investors and supporters since day one.

This Secret Service dude sure knows how to photobomb…
Jamie Fox can even make the Brady Bunch song smooth as butter. 1:58 is where it gets good.
