The End.

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:56:53 -0500

While I don’t update my blog much I figured this was blog worthy and the best way to share. That said I’ll cut to the chase, as of yesterday I am no longer a part of the Cloudbot team.

Its been a fun ride, I’ve learned a lot and look forward to applying this knowledge to my next endeavor(s).

Thank you for everyone’s help and support over the past year of both myself and Cloudbot, it did not go unnoticed! Am still figuring out next steps but will be sure to keep you all in the loop.In the meantime, feel free to email or tweet me if I can help anyone out. And if you’re around the city would love to grab some coffee.

When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and you’re life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money.

That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.

Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again. - Steve Jobs

The sacrifice you and your families have made is not lost on me. Thank you.
