Smoking Rainbow Pipe for Cameron

I’m so thankful for the inspiring setup we’ve got here at work. Sure, the view is phenomenal, but what makes it truly special is the camaraderie shared by all the studiomates. Coming to work is like showing up to hang out with friends, and by friends I mean amazingly talented, creative, motivated people I somehow get to collaborate with. Every day is an adventure in smart people and projects, and somewhere at the center of it all, you’ll usually find this guy. He’s an instigator who pushes everyone to “do something.” He’s got a zero bullshit policy, so you have to be willing to back up anything and everything you say. He’s also a warm, fuzzy heart who calls himself a “sad panda” if he has to miss out on any group fun. You can count on him for either honest perspective or pee-your-pants humor, depending on his mood. Actually, a lot of the time it’s both. Everyone should be so lucky to have Cameron Koczon, lover of pipes, music, scotch, westerns and awesomeness, in their lives. So today on his birthday, this thank you reads…

Dear Cameron,

Thank you for so freely offering humor, advice, hospitality, drinks and friendship. Thank you for pushing me to be the best version of myself, yet welcoming me into your circle just as I am. Thank you for having been born, for if you hadn’t, this world would be lacking a serious deal of awesomeness.

Sincerely,
Jessi

Cameron is kicking butt today on multiple levels… 1.) He and Tina launched some cool new features as well as the iPhone app for their browser-based to-do application TeuxDeux today. 2.) He and another of our amazing studiomates, Chris Shiflett, are opening registration on what is going to be the most awesome conference of all time in the most awesome borough on the planet: Brooklyn Beta. It’s going to inspire people to do a little less of the conventional and more of their heart’s own desire. Wild unicorns couldn’t keep me away!
