It's been a crazy couple of weeks but worth it if the additional traffic translates into more fans on the site. Thanks Louis!

Give yourself a pat on the back - you're the reason this thing is launching so quickly. Jason and Erin - you two have gotten this site up to snuff so fricking fast.

I just discovered BallHype (along with the rest of the world) at TechCrunch, but what fascinates me is the husband and wife aspect of the story, and with two kids too! Amazing. Reminds me of the Minti team as well. I know how hard it is to juggle, but it looks like you guys are pulling it off. I'm looking forward to using some of the BallHype feeds for my next project.

It's been great having you on board for this. @ Ryan - thanks! One reason we started this blog was that we knew time would go by in a flash and we'd be hard pressed to remember what the experience would be like. So far, a lot of fun! And little sleep, but that will change soon we hope. @ Tom - thanks! It’s been great having you on board for this.

Like Ryan, I think the husband-wife aspect of it is an incredibly interesting story. Definitely look forward to more reading more about that aspect of your startup experience.

One thing we've promised each other is the occasional night off for personal time as well as date nights. We need to make sure the husband-wife thing doesn't fall apart now that we've positioned this blog that way :-) @ Chris - thanks!

Very inspiring. I am sort of in the same boat except I still hold my 9 - 5. I have also been blogging about my startup experiences so far. I will be a frequent visitor to your blog, and don't hesitate to ask for help if needed. Regards, Jimmy Huen http://FoundersCafe.com Congratulations to both of you. Very inspiring.

It'll be nice to know someone else in the same boat to check in with along the way. I am impressed you're able to manage a full-time job though - it's tough to be really focused on both at the same time. Thanks Jimmy, and best of luck to you!

I know because I have a 9 yr old stepson and he's a load to handle. I think the hardest part for me is actually not being able to get help from my wife as she is anemic. So doing it on my own caused the progress to be slower than ideal. You guys should do well, The site's UI is very clean, simple, and easy on the eye. When I get home tonight, I will sign up and browse around more. Keep up the good work. Jimmy It’s been tough, but I think it’s easier to have the full time gig than having two young kids at home.
