I can't believe how fast time flies... This past January 30th officially marked the

one year anniversary of the AOL acquisition of Goowy Media

.

Some of the things, both personal and professional that I've done since January of last year:

  • closed down the Goowy office in San Diego's Gaslamp District

  • sold my condo in San Diego's East Village

  • converted users of Goowy's original webtop product to AOL Mail

  • moved to Santa Monica

  • migrated Goowy's datacenter from Complex Drive to an AOL operated facility

  • attended my dad's 59th birthday party - he says he's not celebrating his 60th birthday this year

  • brought on additional support to help Goowy with its growth in the new environment

  • witnessed the Bris of my cousin's second son, Jack

  • worked with AOL's PlatformA group to roll out widgets as ads which have shown success with various campaigns

  • had an absolutely amazing bachelor party in Playa del Carmen which Alex orchestrated brilliantly

  • worked through countless product releases for yourminis

  • took off for a few weeks to see Thien's heritage in Vietnam, to get married in Thailand and to honeymoon in The Maldives

I'm sure I've missed a lot in that quick synopsis, but there is no doubt that it has been a busy - and exciting year. Time sure does fly..
