having fun

Back in the early days at Jobster we had some catch phrases we used to repeat all the time:

"Your #1 job is to have fun"

"When you're having fun it's no longer work."

I can safely report that I'm currently having more fun at work than I have ever had in my entire professional career.  Starting up social|median is a blast.  I'm over in Pune, India right now working 18 hour days with our development team.  This is my second trip over here in the past 4 weeks.  In between trips we're on skype each day for 2-3 hours per day. 

Our top 3 priorities right now are: 
(1) product
(2) product
(3) product

That's how it should be early on.

We're a small team which means that its always on:  if we don't do it, it doesn't get done.

I haven't hired anyone in the states yet, which means I'm a fulltime product manager.  Which is a fantastic back-to-basics approach.

We've been cranking on our alpha code for about 8 weeks now and it is starting to come together nicely.  We're shipping new code daily and getting awesome immediate feedback from our early users.

We have no idea if this idea of ours is going to actually amount to much, but it sure is fun to give it a try.
