Chris, very sorry to hear things went south on your plans. Selfishly, it’s good to have you staying in Seattle. Big picture, it’s too bad whatever “it” was didn’t come to light, but knowing you, there’s likely something bigger waiting down the road. Best of luck- (PS – In choosing a place to settle, keep in mind that Ballard rocks!)

Makes not sense to post and not say why!

I’d like to know.

Those who think things couldn’t get any worse are simply lacking imagination.

However, Burroughs (whose work I usually can’t stand) does offer a lil’ ray of sunshine on the nature of your veiled tale of woe.

The best way to get over it is to think: Okay, what do I need to do to create a competitor company that will ground these idiots into the dirt? Even if you never do it, thinking of ways you could will feel good. :)

Maybe it couldn’t have been worse, but I bet you’ll come up with something even better in the future.

I’m sorry to hear that Chris. You are a good person who has done more for getting people together in our industry from all points on the globe than anyone I know of. I agree with Robert that we should help you make the next Gnomedex the best and biggest ever. You have my support and I assume by the karma you’ve collected over the years, you’ll have the support more people than you can count!

As we say in Texas: “Dust yourself off and get back on that horse!” Seriously, you’ve got plenty more riding to do brother…

Chris,
Man.. I don’t know what happend, but I for one know it was not because of your’s and Ponzi’s lack of effort.
I can imagine though, it is good though that you had not moved all the way down for things to fall through like they did. Then you would have been “BIGTIME” Pissed.
Take a deep breath….
GO find the closest Paint ball course and kill something..

I am trying to have it as it is.

Your future and Ponzi’s are incredibly bright, and all the brighter because you have each other.

Ok, I’m thoroughly baffled and more than a little intrigued. I guess I will have to remain perpetually intrigued!

Okay, let me step back from that a bit.

Obviously you’re upset and NDA’s never do anyone any favors. But this is a personal blog so I should berate you for venting in the best way you can given NDAs. Sorry, I was too harsh.

Vent away and sometime someone should find out so we can all learn the nasty stuff people do and prevent it from happening in the future.

Still hoping that some tv version of ZDNet/TechTV happens again ON TV. Fight on!
