The end of an era
Andrea was just laid off. I am saddened beyond words that a place that meant so much to so many of us is now kaput. Digital River doesn't know what they're missing by shutting Beyond down. I haven't felt that kind of passion for my work in any of the places I've been since, maybe none of us have. It was a symbol of the dot-com era -- pay no attention to the man looking for profits, hire pretty girls and for Christ's sake, have fun.

Sigh.
