Change comes

Today is a big day in the Pusateri household. Michele and I have discussed this quite a bit and come to the decision for me to leave the world of television and move into working full time on my real passion, Datafloss.

You gotta do what you love, and I love this new opportunity.

Some may say I'm crazy to give up the executive pay, first class travel, and a corner office, but they simple don't know the world-changing and paradigm-shifting power of Datafloss.

Life will be different for the family as we enter 'start-up mode' and I finish up the first round of financing that's been going on in the background for a couple months now.

Cruftbox will remain as my private voice on the net, but look for my new professional voice at Datafloss!

I am SO not looking at the date ;-)

Datafloss actually rocks. It might even solve that shielding issue you noted earlier this week.

Sorry but you're past the curve. The Datafloss paradigm is SO 1st-quarter-2005!

Does that mean we're going to Philipes for lunch today?

You have a secret life as Batman, don't you?

How many fell for it?

The mission statement and GA alone probably used up all the seed money.

I'll be watching for your second round of VC (or Amex debt) to finance the acutal startup phase.

I'm glad to see that you do pay attention in all those meetings, if only to capture the pontification of the pointy haired bosses.

Hey! You stole OUR company's vision and mission statement!
