I must say this is a lot more intriguing and value-based than most of the other:

  1) I'm an idea guy.
  2) I need a code monkey to clone ___.
  3) Profit.
Thanks for being upfront and geninue (imo).

I would certainly entertain the idea of working with you. I'm a 37signals kinda guy and roll with tha saas model. We can definitely get a feel for one another, but have to be honest and say, while I am not opposed to moving to Japan, its one of the super-huge obstacles that would make this actually working out quite a long shot, since what if we make it all the way to that point, it doesn't work out down the line, and I am out on my ass in Japan?? Hey wait ... that actually sounds really damned fun - Email is on the way!

P.S. Been seriously working on a pretty solid idea of my own, it should work just as well in Japan.. but I guess that's what the email is for!



Thanks very much for your reply. I'm glad thats coming across. I'm certainly not an MBA with a game changing idea that I'm 'allowing' someone to work on - quite the opposite. The idea itself is important, but the execution is the critical component.

I'm also down with the ultra clean 'as few features as possible' mentality, so I'm looking forward to having a chat with you.

Agreed - there are worse situations than being unencumbered and single in Japan.


This reminds me of that south park episode with underpants gnomes:

  1) Collect underpants
  2) ?
  3) Profit
