I’m very excited to announce that we’ve officially launched Sherpaa.

Who it’s for: Currently it’s for tumblr’s employees. In the near future, we’ll be signing up other NYC-based companies.

Why: When you’re sick or hurt, figuring out exactly who and what you need and when you need it is difficult. You need an accessible, friendly doctor you can call and email 24/7 who will either solve the problem right then and there or guide you to the highest quality, health professionals with the best personalities who will provide exactly the care you need.

Our wonderful friends at tumblr are our first clients. And that means that all of tumblr’s employees can now email or call our doctors (or Guides as we call them) 24/7 when they have a health concern or question. Our Guides are well connected, in-the-know local doctors. Sometimes they can solve everything for you right away, and other times they’ll collaborate with other New York City specialists to arrange the most appropriate care for you. They make your health simple. And that’s our mission. 

We’re starting slow. We’re focusing on working exclusively with tumblr for a while and will soon be signing up other NYC-based companies. If you’re interested in joining Sherpaa, please do let us know.

I’ve been quite busy for the past few months getting Sherpaa started. This is the next big phase of my life. And I’m super proud of it. It’s a service designed and built by us at The Future Well. We’re doing wonderful things and I’m a happy, happy guy.

This is a service that could do amazing things for medicine. It is awesome watching Jay innovate in medicine.

Why is it that most of the innovative consumer health initiatives are coming from the east coast?

I spent nearly all of yesterday battling - what turned out to be - a mobile Safari rendering issue. Both screenshots are of the same thing: two absolutely positioned div’s at the same location, with one div rotated 180 degrees on its Y-axis. The desktop version correctly positions them next to each other (appearing as a solid box), however the iPad erroneously introduces a 1px seam (or gap) in between the two.

The first few hours were spent deconstructing my code to make sure it wasn’t user error, before building a stripped-down prototype so I could test the issue in isolation. 

Then came hours of trying to override the behavior, starting with translateX(), setting negative margins, bumping the left positioning up by one, etc, all in attempt to nudge the pieces closer together by force. These all got rid of the seam, but since the two div’s each have 50% of a background graphic (that combined make a single image) they introduced new, undesirable artifacts.

In the end, it became obvious this was a rendering bug caused by mobile Safari’s viewport zoom handling and the fix was easy: disable zooming with <meta name=”viewport” content=”initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1”>

Hopefully this post saves someone else a very frustrating day.

What a awesome chart.  It would be nice to see a aggregate worldwide smartphone number on it as well.  But the point comes through, things have shifted.

Bre just revealed a brand spanking new MakerBot, and it is by far one of the coolest things to come out of Brooklyn in quite some time.

Shit just got real. 

Bre is my hero. Love this man.
