Goodbye and good luck, Jacob!
In late 2000, Jacob DeHart and I started up skinnyCorp and Threadless after meeting on a design and development forum called Dreamless. Over the past 7 years Jacob and I along with everyone else at skinnyCorp have helped grow Threadless into a really amazing project. Over the years, Threadless has exposed us both to a lot of neat things. Through that, Jacob has found that he has a strong passion for emerging technology.

That said, Jacob has decided to leave skinnyCorp and pursue his passion for new technology while at the same time spending time with his friends and family. You'll still see him pop in now and then as he's still a member of the community!

I wish Jacob the best of luck and hope everyone else feels the same!

In related news, Harper has been promoted to CTO and he has brought on two new engineers with a third on the way. All dedicated to exponentially expanding the ultra-awesomeness of Threadless :)
Picture of me!
Hi! I'm Jake Nickell.
I'm a young entrepreneurial mad man that programs neat community websites non-stop. I am founder and CEO of skinnyCorp and Threadless.com, along with a bunch of other little projects. I'm currently living in Chicago with my wonderful wife, Shondi and our adorable little daughter. I feel like a very lucky man to be able to go have fun at work with my friends and come home to a loving family every day. What could be better?

This website is a home-brewed feed of my contributions to other online communities I frequent. From my Flickr photos to my twitter to my Vimeo videos to my Netflix queue... and other random oddities.
