A Nice NYC STARS Alumni Meetup

I just got home from a nice meetup of the NYC ex-STARS folks. And I mean Meetup literally since we use meetup.com It’s still going on as I type this. My girls are both fighting colds (ear infection and viral infection) so I left early so I could be home before they fell asleep.

The gang hadn’t gotten together for a while. Erik Stepp was the social instigator and he had a gig that took him to Europe for six months, so it had been a while.

It was great to see everyone, even briefly.

Everyone is doing well a year later. Not like that’s a surprise, it was (wrong tense, still is) a hugely talented group. It’s hard to believe that an organization could lose that many talented people without a real impact. Well, I guess there was an impact, so it’s not that hard to believe.

But tonight was not about STARS, it was about good people (and good beer). We did get a couple of questions about when Origami Risk will be hiring developers, but the truth is that me, Linus and Tim have that pretty well covered right now. We need more sales people, and pretty soon service folks.

So one more virtual toast to a great group. Hopefully when Origami Risk is huge, we’ll have as good a team…
