Tubthumping

Well, as Ryan reported, most of us at Cyan are going to have a reeeallly long holiday weekend.

I've heard horror stories of how things like this go down at other companies, but they're being very generous here. It's obvious it breaks Rand's heart to let everyone go.

The nice thing is, there are lots of jobs out there right now. The bad thing is, there aren't a lot of interesting projects. But there are some, and everyone at Cyan is so talented, I have no doubt that everyone will land on their feet.

As for the dream that was Cyan, man, that hurts. It's not quite dead yet...there's a skeleton crew manning the ship for a little while longer, and if something works out, they want to hire back anyone who hasn't moved on.

We've had a bit longer to process this stuff than everyone else, and what I've realized is that I'm still young...and I still have the energy to try to make a difference in this industry.

So I guess I'm saying, please don't forsake the dreamers though this dream is lost. We're still out here. Dreaming. Tubthumping.
