Before I forget to mention it: I also wanted to send a VERY heartfelt thank you to Jennifer Myronuk, who took the last 8 months off to help me find a good home for FireAnt's software and really supported me, even when things were tough.
Jen's a citizen journalist/documentary video enthusiast who was in the process of launching her own software (a FileMaker shareware program called "StoryField") when she stepped in to help out. (She's also my fiance). Thank you, Jen. This space is all about community -- especially the personal space to grow and experience what you're made of. I'm definitely in awe of all of the great work being produced from the teams at Miro and MeFeedia (and many others) and am honored to have had the opportunity to have been part of a early software project and exchange ideas along the way with many great people. - Josh On 9/14/07, Steve Garfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ah memories. > > It was an amazing time. being able to watch everyone else's video > back then. > > Every... single... video... that everyone else made. > > Working with Daniel Salber on FireAnt for the Mac was a great > experience.
