Neomorphic Ten Year Reunion

Posted on May 22, 2010 by thedude

Ten years ago I got a job at Neomorphic, Inc. — a small start-up with a big idea and a fabulous group of individuals who, as a team, definitely got ‘er done. I am extremely lucky to have been part of this amazing team, led by Martin Reese, Cyrus Harmon and Gregg Helt.

Thanks to hosts Hari Tamanna and Joe Morris, grillmeister Erik Burns and especially to Sara, for all the hard work and for taking the fabulous group shot. It was awesome to see all of you again.

Eyelid Surgery Before and After

Posted on May 10, 2010 by thedude

Lately, some of you have been asking about my eyes. You will recall that I had the surgery strictly to correct my vision problem, NOT for cosmetic reasons, and by that measure, the surgery was 100% successful. My vision is better than it has been for years!

 Roll over image to see the results of my surgery.

 
If that weren’t enough, a happy side-effect of the corrective surgery is that my new eyelids make me look at least 5 years younger. You may have to look closely, but I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to see the difference.
