We simply ran out of time as a company!  As a bootstrapping startup, you’re always in a race against the clock.  The modest revenue streams we’ve created over the past year and a half just aren’t enough to sustain us, so it’s time to try something new.  Snowcap Labs will not be taking on new work, and each of us is exploring our own options for what to do next.

That said, I don’t exactly want to go fly a cubicle for 60 hours a week, now.  So I’m evaluating my options (and there are a lot of really great projects to get involved with in Atlanta right now), but ideally I will find something that I’m excited to work on and that can offset my personal cash flow needs.

If you’d like to discuss your cool project with me, or you just want to shoot the breeze, get ahold of me (via Twitter or just leave a comment) soon and we’ll schedule a lunch or coffee (or even drinks!)

Emotional as all of this is, I see this as a good thing.  There are no hard feelings, we’ll each get residual checks going forward, and I’ve still got our (wicked!) web video recording software at my disposal.  I’m very excited about being Atlanta’s newest entrepreneurial “free agent”, and you can bet I’m already thinking about how to get into a new coworking situation!

• we launched CoworkAtlanta.com, a project for creating a coworking space for Atlanta 
• we’re developing the “World’s First Video-Only Dating Site”, and we’re going to need testers soon!

Also, i downloaded Breath of Fire 2 for the SNES on my Wii last week, so that has definitely been cutting into the time i could be spending blogging.  I’m a sucker for old-school RPGs, what can i say?

Cara downloaded the WordPress app for her iPhone, and i’m really impressed.  It lets you fully manage multiple blogs with a nice interface, including access to the camera (ie embedded phlogging!), which she used on this post.

I keep assuming that when i get an iPhone, i’ll suddenly get a better grip on my information overload problems.  Fat chance.

Here we are in Cincinnati on a 3-hour layover on the way to Green Bay:

Now we’re at the lakehouse, hanging out with Uncle Frank, doing some cooking, and enjoying the lovely weather.  I tried to create a video showcasing all of these things, but my internet is just too spotty!  Bummer, i really wanted to post a lot of video during the trip.  Maybe when we go into town there will be better access.

More to come…

Here’s me talking about it:

And here’s what the action looked like last year:

Can’t wait!
