Day January 29, 2010

Surrounded by Giants

On Monday I talked to designer Roger Black about the projects he’s working on, including a few that we may be able to work on together.

On Tuesday I met Jeff Veen and Bryan Mason for the first time — both formerly of Adaptive Path, and who are now inventing the future of font-delivery with TypeKit.

On Wednesday I met two gentlemen who once managed the publication of Newsweek, and talked to them as they discussed a new venture that’s trying to figure out the future of content.

Yesterday and throughout the week I’ve been acting as a sounding board for Jeffrey Zeldman, on ideas for his multiple successful businesses. At this moment I’m listening to him be interviewed for the inaugural podcast of Dan Benjamin’s new venture, 5 by 5.

I may be slightly at loose ends at the moment, and uncertain about the future, but I’m not sure I’d trade it.
