Family and Friends 
- Kin dropped a bombshell on Monday (and then immediately headed out into the wilderness, out of reach of phone and Internet): he was putting API Evangelist up for sale in order to spend the summer on a new project to help my son. That’s Drone Recovery. The response from the API community was amazing, raising enough money so that Kin doesn’t have to sell his site right now. I’m not sure where to start with my thoughts on all of this, so at this point I’ll simply express deep gratitude for folks’ kindness.
