I'd like to dedicate this sapce to all the men and women who have sacrificed the ultimate sacrafice for our great country. I don't think people can thank those in the military enough for what they have done to allow us the freedoms and luxuries we have today. Thanks to all of you...

A little history about Memorial Day: It was originally called Decoration Day, and is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service.

Well... today is the last day for Mister Lister.

Mister Lister was a program that allowed Sellers on eBay to list items in Bulk, using templates and collections to save items and post them at a later time. The program used one page for entering auction information, allowed the user to be disconnected from the Internet, and was available in 11 countries. It was adapted from a program called Up4Sale Upload that was created by Rob Ratterman and Josh Knepfle. Paul Elfers, Josh, and eventually I, participated in the creation and continuous improvement of Mister Lister until today. While Josh and Rob have since departed eBay, Paul and I stuck around for the last year and a half working on this great product.

We will be departing eBay at the end of June. After working there for the last 4 1/2 years, I can say that it is truly amazing to see the company transform from a true start-up, to the multi-billion dollar company it is today. I've enjoyed nearly every minute of working with eBay and hope that we can continue to work with them in the future. It was truly an experience I would never give up.
