everything happens for a reason, I am sure you will create something create after this.

I in no way meant the above to be negative. I was only trying to be encouraging. We have all had bad things happen, it's all about how you bounce back.

Not sure why this was downvoted. It's a little negative, but I do agree from this experience and you blogging about Jamie something better will come along!

Good luck and is the weather in Phoenix still "100 and above it's a scorcher out there" :) ? You emailed me this summer re: my start-up. Good luck!

The alarm clock thing, right? :)

yup :) (http://sleep.fm)

I downvoted it, because I see it as a stupid comment for situations where something (partly) out of your control happens and you lose. "It's going to be ok" from a friend is nice then, but a comment that "Everything happens for a reason" from a stranger is just weird. Not only he agrees that the bad thing was supposed to happen, he implies that he knows there was "a greater plan" and that he has some knowledge about the whole situation that allows him to predict your future. I hate this phrase, because it's complete BS.

So yeah - downvoted for personal reasons ;)

Good luck to the guys.

Above livejamie has found himself a potential opportunity with Digg.

Bad situations always leave room for learning, growth and positive outcomes, so long as you are willing to look at it from a positive perspective.

Not really. Sometime in life shit just happens for no good reason.

And when life gives you shit... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpuFeQZCvOI
