 20070227 2007 Entertainment and Media Conference at HBS
Hey, I'm going to Boston for a conference tomorrow. Kunal is coming, too. I'm on a panel to discuss Online Communities. If you're around, consider stopping by. I just looked at the rosters for the first time and there are a couple of gems: Harry Sloan, CEO of MGM; Stefan Glazer, Chairman of Last.fm; plus, heads from Veoh, VideoEgg, and HBO. Here's the whole list.Aside, the last time I was in Boston, it was my 10th birthday and my dad and I drove to Foxboro Stadium to see the Buffalo Bills play the Patriots (Bills won 41-7). I remember it being awkward because my mom was supposed to go with him because it was some sort of couples weekend arranged by my dad's work friends, but he took me because of my birthday and all. I recall thinking that maybe I should insist my mom go, but then quickly dismissing the idea, overcome by the potential of seeing a Bills' away game.

Uniqlo's site is incredible.If you're unaware, Uniqlo is the Japanese H&M. A few months ago, they opened a flagship store in SoHo, their first in North America. Via Jakob via Waxy. Update: I agree with comments: The site is not usable for shopping. I only noted it for it's mosaic effects, which I've never seen before. Freelance Flash Designer Needed

Soldout show, but lots of tix for sale on Craig's List. Update: The Girl Talk show was pretty much insane. Lots of photos on Flickr. Need a couch in Austin
My friend Jeff is going to SXSW March 9-13. He prefers to stay in a house over a hotel. Do you have a couch he can sleep on? Please email me if you can help.
Just noticed that Sweetwater in Fort Wayne is looking for a web designer. Any one in town interested? It's a unique local company doing incredible amounts of national business. If I were just starting a career in web development and living in Fort Wayne, that's where I would go.

Vimeo = Finalist at South by Southwest!!!
SXSW told us that Vimeo is a finalist for the Best Community Web Award to be named at the festival, which starts March 9th. I think this is totally cool.What's cooler is that because Jakob and I were given free passes to attend (in case we need to give a speech!), I now have an extra Interactive pass that I already purchased and I would like to give it away ($300 savings for you!). If you want to go, email me (this will require that you be in Austin, TX from March 9th to March 13th). |

 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.
