yeah, really excited to see my startup Jellyfish Art on nytimes

I got great feedback and found a programmer from hacker news a few weeks ago

Got a new website up, keep it coming

Wonderful news! Especially for the jellyfish. (Hungry programmer + tanks full of captive jellyfish + willingness to entertain thought of slightly-more-adventurous-than-usual Asian cuisine to avoid starvation = pass me the soy sauce, please)

Nice writeup, including tips on how to avoid liquefying your jellyfish:

Hey, this is cool. I remember a while back someone posting a comment about how his friend started a business making jellyfish aquariums. Is this the same guy? If so, CONGRATS!

Yes, Alex Andon started http://www.jellyfishart.com. They met the NYTimes reporter at an event called LaidOffCamp in San Fran.

The other company is http://www.30words.net. Send any comments/suggestions about either website my way.

Unfortunately I was at a YC Dinner the night the NYTimes came over so we didn't get a plug. :(

These are my roommates!

They met the reporter at LaidOffCamp in San Fran last week.

Noticed his site has improved ten fold too. Good work!

thanks all for the feedback
