Goodbye and good luck, Jacob!
In late 2000, Jacob DeHart and I started up skinnyCorp and Threadless after meeting on a design and development forum called Dreamless. Over the past 7 years Jacob and I along with everyone else at skinnyCorp have helped grow Threadless into a really amazing project. Over the years, Threadless has exposed us both to a lot of neat things. Through that, Jacob has found that he has a strong passion for emerging technology.

That said, Jacob has decided to leave skinnyCorp and pursue his passion for new technology while at the same time spending time with his friends and family. You'll still see him pop in now and then as he's still a member of the community!

I wish Jacob the best of luck and hope everyone else feels the same!

In related news, Harper has been promoted to CTO and he has brought on two new engineers with a third on the way. All dedicated to exponentially expanding the ultra-awesomeness of Threadless :)

What are jell-o pants? Pants made out of jell-o or pants filled with jell-o?

And if it is the former, are these pants that are worn, or simply a pan of jell-o cut out in the shape of pants?

All about me
First of all, thanks for using Threadless! I spent many long, sleepless nights building this website! Shondi, my wife, is the best! Right now she is smiling like a little frog.

We live in Chicago and have 2 dogs, Norman and Sophie. We work together for skinnyCorp, a company Jacob and I started back in late 2000 along with this very site you're on right now, Threadless!

Since then, we've built all kinds of neat community driven websites and absolutely love doing it. Hoorah!
