I look up to you for the dedication you brought to all of time we spent together, and now that i’m the left coast trying to walk in the same shoes (working at a “hot” startup and coding and working on requirements) i can say concretely that what I learned at laszlo I use everyday. Miss the code reviews. Good luck, and I know it will be fun for you at all times, you don’t strike me as the type to do anything half way!

Awesome for you Sarah! The “between” time is often the most invigorating and exciting time! Chance to re-connect with friends and spend time exploring new things. I know whatever you end up doing, you’ll have fun and kick *ss.

It was great fun working with you at Laszlo, and I sure learned a lot by sitting down and doing code reviews with you! I will always remember first meeting you at Kaleida Labs, when you installed a copy of COSA AfterEffects on the Mac in the lab, which rocked my world! I am glad we crossed paths years later and worked together at Laszlo, because you’re so friendly and fun to work with, even though you Totally Get Shit Done!

Congrats Sarah! I’m sure you will end up having a good interesting time. I’m been building up my own little consulting business since June, after 2 years at an ad agency. I’m so glad I was laid off. Working with many other companies, mostly from my own office, has been fun and surprisingly profitable. Not always easy, sometimes scary, but it has worked out better than I expected. I even get to work on silly side projects like this one: http://joe-sparks-post-it-art.blogspot.com/2009/01/egg-meet-bread-aw-yeah.html

That’s always a tough decision, to move on after so many years. Laszlo has a great bunch of people, but I’m convinced that you’ll be successful as a consultant meet other great people. Good luck!

It’s good to cut the strings every once in a while. Have fun indeed.

Congrats, Sarah. You hired me from across the country, and moving out here ended up being a pretty significant turning point in my life and career. So I appreciate that a lot. And I had a great time working with you (and everyone) at Laszlo!

Thanks and best of luck.

Congratulations on joining Peldi/Balsamiq and for making the jump into the ’solo’ world.

I look forward to seeing what your next project is! Good luck!
