World Cup Update

Humba humba humba! on Vimeo

Last night, Fabian and I went to Cologne to join the crowds watching Germany play Ecuador at cafes and bars. 200,000 extra people were in the city to celebrate the World Cup. Immediately after Germany won, people flooded the streets for a drunken party that lasted long past dark. Here's a video of German fans immediately after the game.

I'm going to Nürnberg tomorrow to see the US play Ghana.

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.
