Orbiting Civilians | Wood Wide Web

 

 
Good afternoon,
 
I saw the news this week that Intuit has purchased MailChimp for $12 billion and was instantly repelled by the idea that the same company that rips me off for accounting software now owns an email marketing company. It also brought to mind the above quote. At the recommendation of my fiancée, I have been watching Halt and Catch Fire. This week I hit an episode where the genius founder in the show, Cameron Howe, fights a suggested IPO in an effort to maintain control of her vision.
 
While MailChimp is far from a startup, it saddens me to see a cooI creative brand acquired by a company whose most creative move is to fight Americans' access to Return-Free Filing of their taxes.

Hope that you enjoy the final days of summer wherever you are and will say that here in Florida I am excited for the first cool temps to arrive.
 
Gratefully,
