my friend Lyza is the opposite of a dilettante: by which i mean that though she has a dizzying variety of intriguing hobbies and interests, she doesn’t dabble. instead she immerses herself in research and practical application. i am consistently impressed by her ability to master whatever she sets her hand to, and i am very proud indeed to count her among my close friends.
but perhaps never so proud as i am today, when she and her cohorts were finally able to announce the release of the new Obama App for iPhone
Lyza has been devoting herself to the difficult task of growing a small software startup with several talented and like-minded tech folks here in the Portland area. CloudFour is the result of these efforts, and for some time now she has been drawn to the idea of creating iPhone applications as a component of her work. what a way to begin…
not only with an application that has such promise for wild popularity, but one that has the potential to be meaningful as a political tool in the crucial upcoming election.
my most sincere congratulations to the entire team.
Hey there,
So I was lead iPhone developers working with Lyza and co on the application. I’d never worked with or met Lyza before starting this project and I must say that creating this application with Lyza and the folks at Cloud 4 has been a privilege and a pleasure.
I am really impressed with their hard work, dedication and talent. And i can’t wait to work with them again in the future.
Jon.
I’m really not worthy. Really not. Especially if you could see the Loony Toons pajamas I’ve been wearing lately. But still, thanks!
