Link: The Mobile Andrew: November 2004.
Did you notice what's hilarious about this pic?
Andrew Anker has been moblogging for some time now, which basically means he has a camera phone that he takes pictures with, and e-mails them straight to his blog with a little note. He works for Six Apart, which is the company behind Typepad, which powers my blog as well as my Find My Path career site. He snapped off the photo above at Six Apart's recent board meeting. The picture is of the co-founder of the company, Mena Trott, but what really struck me was the two gentlemen in the backround. One of them is someone I had the fortune to meet earlier this year, David Hornick, who is a VC from August Capital who funded the company recently. The other guy... well... the other guy is HUGE... or at least appears that way in the picture. So David wouldn't make the Sand Hill Road basketball team (which, by the way, would likely be dominated from the guys at ComVentures and John Hummer, who used to play in the NBA/ABA), but still... this is just hilarious.
I brought the pic to David's attention and he responded:
"Just clicked on your link. That's hilarious. The guy I was talking to was
a mere 6 foot 8. Of course that seems pretty darn tall when you're 5 foot
4."
At least he takes it in stride, no matter how short those strides may be. Good luck guys! I've enjoyed keeping up with this company.
