Going, going, back, back to Cali, Cali
It’s with some sadness and a whole lot of excitement that I’m announcing I’ll be leaving Blue Flavor and going to work at Facebook as a Product Designer. I’m sad to be leaving a great group of friends and co-workers, but excited for the opportunity to work for such an smart, talented group of people working on such a well known and widely distributed product.
Everyone I met both during the interview process had a palpable passion for the product that was both humbling and inspiring. One thing is clear, people love working at Facebook and they truly believe in the product.

An Ill-Fated, Dragon-Headed, Slow Boat to China
The Seattle Weekly article all about the company China 8 Blue Flavor did work for a while back. One of the founders of the project, Paul Willms, has quite the business history. My favorite though is this gem: “Willms had sent out a letter to thousands of Mennonites in the U.S. and Canada, asking them to invest in a scheme to win back, and redevelop, roughly 500,000 acres of formerly Mennonite land, now within the borders of the Ukraine, that had been seized by the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution of 1917.” We still haven’t been paid.
