 20050810 This kind of thing happens all the time ... only in NYC.
Josh forwarded me Elsewares, a great online store selling unique art & design goods. I quickly became excited because their site design is slick and does a great job of organizing a variety of different products beyond t-shirts -- something we would eventually like to do with Defunker.ANYWAY, I click to the about page only to find that they work out of the 3rd floor in a building only 200 yards away from my front door! THEN, I gave them call to ask if they wanted to hang out. SO NOW, I am grabbing a sandwich with Ryan next week. The advantages of proximity and networking in this city are unrivaled! 2

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
