Due to downsizing and restructuring, last week was my last week at DeNA San Francisco (formerly ngmoco). Past ngmoco alum have a special saying for this type of thing: “I’m an ngnomo’!”

The past year or so has been a blast! I met so many great people and I know we’ll cross paths again. We did a lot of great work together and had a lot of fun in the process, plus we learned a lot and taught each other a lot too.

Anyway, I’m excited for new opportunities and even bigger and better things to come. Stay tuned! 🙂

A look back at the last year:

Typical Monday.

This is more or less how my morning went…

Oh, it’s Friday? Ho hum.

Oh, what is this new Sparkling Yerba Mate tea in the fridge?!?

I’M THE KING OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!

Hey folks,

Today is my last day at gdgt. It’s hard to believe that I joined the team almost 3 years ago. Time flies when you’re having fun! It’s been a wild ride, but it’s time for me to pursue some new opportunities in 2012!

I want to thank the gdgt community for making my job an absolute blast and helping create something awesome! It’s been a fun experience chatting with everyone on gdgt, on Twitter, and even in person at our gdgt live events. I’ve met a countless number of great people, and for that, I’m super thankful.

Thanks for the fun times and happy memories!

Until next time,

-Dave

According to Foursquare, as far as the last 6 months are concerned, I’ve been to more unique airports (11!) than bars (10). And even more unique coffee shops (13) + cafés (11).

Is this what being a grownup is like?

We’re hard at work, launching the next version of gdgt! (It’s been crazy. We’re at about 19 straight hours of cranking on this right now.)

Boxes and boxes of shwag sitting at gdgt HQ in San Francisco prior to tomorrow’s gdgt live in San Francisco event at the SFDC Galleria (from 7pm – 11pm). Make sure to come hang out with us!

Via our internal team chat this morning at work. You think there’d be more Project Runway fans around, since we all appreciate good design here.
