Welcome

Technology, design, friends and photos from Seattle.

Congrats to AtomShockwave

Mika is a friend. We started at RealNetworks together and ski together whenever schedules will allow. So, I speak from the heart when I say that I’m really, really happy for him and the team that Viacom announces the purchase of AtomShockwave today. They really went through hard times. At one point, almost everyone had to get laid off as the company ran out of money during the dot com meltdown. But they were SO persistant. What I really admired was that Mika was always willing to walk away and feel ok with a possible negative outcome as he always felt like he gave it 100% every step of the way. In the long run, it really paid off. His first start-up was a huge success. Not many can say that. Most folks require a bit more practice :)
