Aila is a Scottish name meaning "from a strong place" which is all the more apt since not only is she 50% Scottish, but after the delivery, we felt this name represented her. "Ai" also means love in Japanese so is just perfect. Plus, I like that the ending "la" matches Tesla : ) Many thanks to wonderful Michelle who graciously designed this delicate card that fits what we feel is Aila's personality so far.

OK, so I have some news to share with you. Today, April 22nd, is my last day at SAY Media. Including 2 years at SAKK and 4 years at Six Apart headquarters in 548 4th street, this has been an incredible venture and terrific experience for me to work with all of smart people on numerous exciting projects, but I figured it's time to move on. I should have a lot to write, but instead i'll dump some memorable pictures :) Man, that's a lot of memories. I'll send everyone a big hug and thank you for making my days at Six Apart/SAY so much fun! P.S. I'll take a quick vacation next week, and will start a new gig...

Most were well-behaved, but some would get their wild on from time to time, and that was ok. Sometimes we'd encourage...

Today was Six Apart's last day. It became Say Media this afternoon. And end of an amazing company, and a start of a new one. A colleague said Six Apart was sort of like college. We all worked and played together, and over the years, we started bumping into alum around the city working at new ventures. We are still a group, and are having a big alum gathering later in January to all come together. Current Six Aparters will be with Say Media, but many of those I have worked with, especially from the very early years, have already...

As we walked home from lunch (the only time we ventured out yesterday), Dav captured this. She was in a grumpy mood dealing with the wind, insisting on keeping her umbrella up even though the rain had lightened, but I thought she looked very cute.
