Home Sweet Home

I’m in the bay for the weekend taking a much needed break from Los Angeles. My dad and I are going to check out Pete Sampras’ supposed “comeback” at the HP Pavillion tomorrow. He plays former world #2 Tommy Haas – he was originally supposed to play Marat Safin, but Marat Safin is probably drunk on a beach somewhere. Talk about a waste of talent – Marat Safin is a lazy drunk who should have at least 5 grand slams by now, but for his lack of discipline.

Ok, enough about tennis, let’s talk about Scripped. We grew by ANOTHER 25 users today and Ryan, Zak and I are thrilled. Thankfully, all three of us are incredibly self-deprecating so I doubt we’ll ever “rest on our laurels.” We are already thinking of the next services we want to release (some of which are almost fully developed) to our community. Free screenwriting software, if you have not already figured out, is not our end game. The three of us are idealists, but we think we can further the art of screenwriting by doing more than just providing free software.

Ryan is working the MIT circuit, while Zak continues to be the man behind the grand vision. I have to hand it to Zak – out of everyone I’ve met in life, he has the absolute BEST work-life balance. He just has a good head on his shoulders (but he has terrible taste in television).

Oh, right, what am I doing? Well right now I’m watching LA Confidential for like the fiftieth time and I just ate too much at a restaurant called Palo Alto Sol. HIGHLY recommend it if you haven’t tried it. Did you know there is a Counter in Palo Alto these days? Crazy.
