Valleyschwag — I Guess It’s Really Happening

April 27th, 2006 in Uncategorized

So we finally got the last of our first shipment of Valleyschwag packages out today (see photo below). Apparently they’re quite a hit. We even got mentions on Laughing Squid and BoingBoing tonight. Which led to loads more subscriptions. I gotta tell you, it was a lot more work than I think anyone expected. Which is one of the reasons I’ve been slacking this week on my blog.

Speaking of which…. It actually dawned on me tonight that I had only done one post this week. I’m trying to figure out why. Valleyschwag was part of that, but there must be more to it. Yeah, work’s been busy and we’re making some operational progress as an organization this week which has kept me busy as well, but actually the entire week is really just a blur. I’m hoping for a little more balance and clarity next week. And hopefully some more humor too.

On the bright side, we managed to eat a home-cooked meal every night this week.

Since when did we become a fulfillment company?

    I vacillate between laughing, being excited and being completely freaked out.

Bio

Raising a Kid
I'm Quinn's mom. He's basically The Cutest Kid in the Known Universe. Ok, I know, your kid's cute too, but this one's mine. He was born in March of 2002 and came home from the hospital to a shower of Cherry Blossoms.

Founding Companies
In January 2007 Thor & I joined forces with Lane Becker of Adpative Path to found Satisfaction Unlimited. You can get a sneak peak by going here and clicking on any company or organization that suits your fancy. And you can get more insight by checking out our Satisfaction Blog. Previous to Satisfaction I was a founding partner of Rubyred Labs, a design driven Internet product development firm where we made cool stuff and enjoyed breakfast, particularly when it involved cereal, coffee and grapefruit. Jonathan Grubb is still running Rubyred.

Keeping the Peace
All this has left me craving a nap, but I still somehow manage to find time to travel with my brilliant and adorable husband (and sometimes my friends), experiment in the kitchen, and hit the town with my gorgeous, smart, single gal pals who are in search of kind, eligible men (I know you're out there...)
