Curse you, Apple’s Address Book! *blush*

Sorry Darius, just realized how cut-n-paste, when artfully combined with an address book application that likes to seemingly sort first names and surnames at random, can make one look like a real doofus.

Then again, walking around being called spacemonkey all these years has left me somewhat immune to ego.

Met Monsef Darius of COLOURlovers last year at the FOWA here in Manhattan (sorry, I’m not in the land of Coffee People) and not only was he a great guy, he was smart and very forward-thinking in what he was doing. Would love to see them get some well-earned accolades for their efforts.

Rick,

Thanks for the great support. I agree that the challenge of facing the membership base of Flickr and StumbleUpon in a popularity contest is pretty huge… but at least we can give them a good run and show them the quality of our community and support with the number of comments we get.

Again, thanks for sharing our work and I hope we can bring a little of the webby love back to Portland.

Cheers,
-Darius

@Nathan If I had a penny for every time I’ve heard that…

Sounds like I need to do a better job of highlighting some of these folks who’ve made a successful jump to “on the RADAR.” ;)
