First Name in the First Ten
I Googled the term Zach and I'm #1. Zach Braff and Zach Galifianakis top off #2 and #3.Top secretly, I've checked that search every month for years now. Zach Braff had a stranglehold on it since Garden State, but he slipped up with The Last Kiss and lost the lead. Eat it, Braff! Also, some of my friends are in their top ten: Mareen Fischinger is #1 Youngna Park is #1 Jason Kottke is #2 Amit Gupta is #3 Jakob Lodwick is #3 Janelle Gunther is #3 Update: My 4-day reign at #1 is over. That blasted Braff has knocked me back to #2.

Indiana Superbowl
LA Times: In the immediate aftermath of victory Sunday, Indy coach Tony Dungy joked that the Colts and Bears shouldn't have to go all the way to Miami to decide a champion but instead should meet in Fort Wayne, Ind., which is between Indianapolis and Chicago.I couldn't agree more. PS. WHO ELSE IS EXCITED THAT THE COLTS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL?!! ILLINOIS AND INDIANA DUKE IT OUT FOR MIDWESTERN/GLOBAL DOMINATION!!!! EAT IT, OHIO!!

iChat makes working offsite easy
 I've moved my desk down from the CV offices on the 9th floor to my apartment on the 6th floor. We've run out of space after hiring 3 new employees last week and we're waiting to get a new place for the 30+ of us to work early this Spring. In a few weeks, I'm moving to my own apartment in Brooklyn, and the Vimeo team and I will work from my old bedroom down here. In the meantime, we're using iChat to video conference when we need to hit each other up for conversation, quick or lengthy. When it works (iChat is surprisingly buggy), it's more efficient than IM or phones, especially when conferencing with a group. With it's tight hardware/software integration, I predict Apple video-chatting will ease my transition into working offsite seemlessly. Three floors below my team this week, why not San Francisco next week? Finally, 12 years after NetMeeting ... Need a connection in Whistler
Yo, I'm going to Whistler this weekend with a few buddies and we need a place to stay. Anyone know anyone who might lend a few couches?
Bareboat Charter
I celebrated New Year's with 10 friends on a catamaran named "Island Time" in the British Virgin Islands.Here's a 6 minute video tour of the boat and a bunch of photos, too. If you've ever thought about bareboat chartering, I highly recommend it. NYT contrasts cultures at CollegeHumor and Google ...
Can Google Come Out to Play? The current Silicon Alley resurgence has brought back a bit of that tradition — the guys of CollegeHumor.com have been celebrating the largess of a multimillion-dollar investment from Barry Diller by holding dance parties at a TriBeCa loft — but the naughtiest it gets for Manhattan Googlers is custom-made trans fat-free ice-cream sandwiches. For the record, we've been hosting dance parties well before Barry bought in. |

 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.
