[QUOTE="aestus, post: 2320517, member: 2989"] A good friend of mine who used to live in Norman was the singer and guitar player for the ska band Special Disaster Team. He was part of my design / dev team at opubco. If you lived in Norman for a while (early 2000's) you should know who that is :) He's now a senior engineer at Apple and happily lives in the South Bay area. What's sad is that OPUBCO was the envy of the town at one point. I had recruited some of the best talent in the region and they squandered it. About the only person I can think of that's still part of the design and development team is Billy M and James D. Wimgo was a large reason why most of us left. I'm still a bit bitter about that because of what they did to it. Wimgo was my creation and they absolutely turned that product into trash. I often felt sorry for Christy when she was still the CEO. She genuinely believed in the preservation of the company and brought a lot of the changes into it's journalism practices to bring integrity back. The huge smoke and mirrors pony show that David and Chris would often do often hid a lot of things that were failing and sinking in the company, which was unfortunate. [/QUOTE]
