Was the Yahoo! team very competitive/serious?

“team” is way more serious than we were; “mailing list” was more like it. Some people took it more serious than others, but it was all about fun.

I never did much sports, but when a mailing went out in 1997 about frisbee, I gave it a try, and really liked it. It was the first Yahoo Ultimate get-together, and I ended up doing it for years,

Somehow it works better without the Frisbee even in the shot. The timing and tension and expressions are so good, it's like Cartier-Bresson himself picked up your camera and took it. There was an amazing Cartier-Bresson exhibit at the Kyoto Museum of Art (one Frisbee throw from your front door, just about) just a few years ago, in conjunction with a disappointing DaVinci exhibit that included a grand total of ONE painting by DaVinci. The photos made up for it. Yeah, if that Filo guy isn't satisfied with fundamentally changing the world, he could try photography.

I bet it will be on his resume now. Maybe now he will amount to something! It’s nice to see that Dave Filo has found work taking photos for your blog. I bet it will be on his resume now.
