I still haven't sent out "the e-mail," saying I'm going to step down, but everybody knows that I will sometime soon. Just to clarify, I'm not stepping down because Lonoa is going down or anything, I just feel like I'm not the right person to lead a group of 7 other inspired students. Mostly, because I'm not inspired anymore. It's not my baby, and reality's hitting me in the face. I love the toy idea on the other hand. It's more of a "typical" business. You have an idea for a product, you create the product, you sell the product. Lonoa's very difficult because our product is our intellectual property, not the system that we've created. And no, I'm not just taking the easy route out, but I believe that the toy idea has a much higher chance at being successful than Lonoa. Another great thing about the toy idea is that it's just me and one other guy, Rob, which makes a variety of issues a lot easier. Management, equity, distribution of work, meeting times, etc.
So similar to my whole experience with flying before ever driving, I hired my first intern before doing my first internship! We're not paying her, but she's willing to work for free.
Now onto the fun stuff. Last night was unbelievably amazing. Actually the past 48 hours has been pretty fun. Friday was our intern's first day - then went to Needham to watch the fireworks, which were surprisingly decent. Then yesterday I went for a run because it was a gorgeous day and found a really nice trail to run on. Then it was time for Project Best Idea Ever - http://www.projectbestideaever.com/.
The gist of it is that there were 90 people in little dingies barbequeing on the water and watching the fireworks. It really was the best way to watch the fireworks. For those of you with Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2019976&id=1149840163
And finally, in other news, the San Francisco Giants are tromping on the Astros. Tim Lincecum is crazy. Sadowski looks to be incredible. It's awesome.
