Testimonials

Jake is the only person I've met twice for the first time.

Jake, Jake, Jake... Thank you so much for sharing your office with us when we still lived in Chicago. It was fun hanging out with you guys. You certainly have an interesting & impecable character. But I still like your puppy more than I like you. : )

Where do you start with this fine specimen of a human being? If he is, in fact human that is. Let him be an example that websites can function without advertising, graffiti has a purpose in the work place and creating communities can change lives. Three cheers for Jake! Hip Hip, Yayhooray!

Jake sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Jake roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

Hi, your site(s) rock. As per my browsers frequency of use. And you are nice (eg) generous soul.

If it wasn't for Skaw and his various websites I would probably be more productive at work. Regardless of that fact I still like him anyway.

Once Skaw slaughtered 999 ninjas who he thought had insulted his honor. He spared the thousandth ninja, proclaiming that his soul was full of light and he would one day become the Messiah. Twelve seconds later, the ninja was hit by a bus driven by Bob Saget.

Jake or skaw as he likes to be called from his mighty mighty bostones phase is one nice guy. Who has never sent me my tie.

November 20, 2005

it's impertinent to say more good things about skaw. you need nothing further than common sense and a good set of eyes to know that he is, in fact, amazingly brilliant.
