A woman crashed into me at full speed on Friday at 12:12 in the afternoon just two blocks from my home. She lives in this neighborhood and seems like a perfectly nice person. Married. Three grown children. Nice house. Nice car. But…………perhaps distracted at the wrong moment.

Meet a mega-rich couple. This is Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake. Yes, Fake. They created and sold one of the consummate web 2.0 companies, Flickr, for $25 million almost twenty years ago. The co-founders married and, a few years later, got divorced in 2007, then Butterfield created a new company, Slack, which has made him a billionaire. During their brief marriage, they had one child whose name is Mint.

PLEASE NOTE we are going to take the site offline for a solid hour in the wee hours of Sunday morning in order to double Slope’s storage capacity. I apologize in advantage, but, c’mon, you need your sleep!
