Hi Aaron,

Congrautlations on your leap of faith!

I have been touched and inspired by the love and encouragement expressed by your colleges, family and freinds.

I too want to thank you and wish you the very best on your new journey. I know you will do well, you have a wonderful foundation and have surrounded yourself with good and talented individuals.

Perhaps, someday we will have an opportunity to meet and collaborate and work together too! Carpe diem!

Hey Aaron,

Thanks man for everything and helping me when I was a newbie at b5. Good luck and more power. You’ll be missed…

I don’t know if you remember me or not, but I was Joey’s friend at the Apple Bar & bonfire/bbq at the ranch in Austin. Anyway, best of luck with your new adventures. I hope it’s everything you are looking for.

On a random note, my dad worked at Northrup Grumman for 13+ years and was more than ready to get out of there by that point.

Aaron, I’m sure you’ll do phenomenally well with whatever your next move is. It’s been great getting to know you and watching you shine in the community here. Keep up the great work and I’ll be in touch regarding some ideas :-)

Aaron,

I wish you nothing but the best. I keep a short list of people that if I could, I would work with in a NY minute. You are definitely one of those folks.

Aaron, you deserve some time to just let the future play itself out a bit; after all – you’ve put in some grueling hours and I know you’ve contributed blood sweat and tears for b5.

You don’t need a “good luck” message from me, here it is anyway. I know you’ll do better than OK; you’ll be brilliant at whatever’s next on the path.

We’ve definitely come a long way, Aaron. And, with your help, we’ve managed that herculean task of merging AW with b5media. You did a lot more since. And, it was great that I at least managed to meet you in person at least once in New York.

I’ve told you we’ll miss you a few times in text form already. And, I was hoping to record it on video – but your Viddler plug-in won’t let me.

So, I’m writing this all over again. Thank you for everything you’ve done for b5. And, you know we’ll miss you – and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

That is an amazing list of accomplishments, Aaron. It’s good to know what you want, that’s how you get it! Let me know if I can do anything for you. Granted, I don’t run in with the DC Group, but you’d be surprised at the connections corporate folks can have.

I’m going to come be your boss at Automattic, Lloyd. ;-)

Kidding.

b5media is in fine hands and whoever will take my place will take it because they will be better than me. :-)

Wow, this is big news! This will shake things up, I’m a little worried that it isn’t good news for b5media, but trust that you will be a phone call away. Definitely looking forward to what you cook up next!

Wow!
Congrats and good luck!
Can’t wait to hear where you head from here!

Wherever it is, whatever you’re doing, you’ll rock…

Whatever you end up doing, I’m sure it will be a great success. It was good seeing you at the breakfast yesterday. With the gathering strength in the DC community, yours is probably the right move at the right time.

While you’re looking for a new gig, I’ve got a few hundred earmarked for you in exchange for some blog coding assistance. I may have to pay you in beer, though, since hiring pals doesn’t always work out well. ;) And good luck with whatever you do next – you’ve made quite a name for yourself.

By: Krish

Krish — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:30:16 +0000

Though we haven’t interacted much, I have been following you on this blog and twitter. Congratulations and I am pretty sure you are going to rock in your future endeavors.

@Brian you can always cry on my shoulder. I’ll send my goons to Toronto ;)

Will do. Thanks for the shout out, Marshall!

This sucks. No one else will put up with me bitching at them like you do. Good luck my man… you’ll kick ass, I’m fairly certain. :)

I can see things a year from now well enough to know you’ll be doing great things then just as you are now. Onward, my friend.

@Debbie Weil, @jonnygoldstein, @zvi band, @ann bernard, @keith casey, @barry austin – We’re going to rock the District. Totally. Thanks for being supportive!

@David Beaudoin, you’re my source of energy!

@Jeremy and @Chad – dudes… How the hell do I get back to Toronto?!

@Brian, b5 won’t be the same, but hopefully it will be better. You’re a rockstar.

Hopefully we’ll get to have pints again soon mate.
It’s been great working with you.
