SteveLa is no more
And so an era ends.
As of 5pm this evening, stevela@microsoft.com is no more. Well, I’m not sure exactly when I get locked out, but today was my last day at Microsoft.
Even though I’m incredibly excited to be building a startup from scratch and moving on to the next phase in my life and career, the past two weeks since I announced my departure have been filled with a wild mix of emotions.
To paraphrase Guy Kawasaki in The Art of the Start, I’d be crazy to not be a little scared about what is to come, and there is definitely some of that mixed in with the excitement.
But also I’m a little sad to be leaving behind a great team at a great company.
Microsoft has been good to me.
And with that I shall dwell no more.
Onward!

Hey Steve. I am sure that you are doing the right thing. Remember, now you have an entire community behind you ;)
To paraphrase Mel Brooks:
"its very quiet when your dead. When your alive you should concentrate on making as much noise as you can. Run around, scream, jump up and down like a chicken, let people know you are there..."
We need to hear you screaming in the future...screaming at the success of the new venture, or at the problems you encounter...either way...you are here to make as MUCH noise as possible because you can...
Good luck Steve...Ive opened two bottles of Boddingtons, sad for you I have to drink them both, but the offer was there.
Blackpool Gary in Florida with best wishes for you.
Steve, great blog 'n' podcasts...
from another 'Brit in Savannah, GA' (a Geordie, who moved to the US in 97)...
Its time to move on in life. (Im going thought the same changes too)
In the words of Dave Lee Roth... "its eat em and smile time!"
Cheers and good luck mate
Scotty
