We heard Jakob Lodwick may have broken his severance agreement with IAC's Connected Ventures when he poached Vimeo Web designer Justin Ouellette to help him start Muxtape, an online mix-tapes startup. How much could the gaffe cost the Connected Ventures cofounder? Reportedly, $100,000 a year through 2011. "What a mess," an IAC exec tells us. True, but mostly for Lodwick. IAC can hire more Web designers to replace the one Lodwick's entrepreneurial ventures have cost them so far. Diller's six-figure dole will be harder for Lodwick to replace.

Did not need to see that picture.
what a douche
That picture makes me feel better about myself. Oh, and the fact that he's a boner makes me feel better too.
Please tag this post "Not Safe for Stomach".
why is julia allison cutting his hair in the middle of a minnow street office foyer?
@michaellamb: that's probably annamarie tendler.
who doesn't dress like or look like julia.
Do you have any pictures of Lodwick wearing a shirt? Seems like a rare find.
How about showing the next one in the series, with her applying the sheep dip.
OMG, my eyes, my eyes.
I so did not need to see that.
IAC produces some real winners.
what an ugly bastard
Eeeeewwwwww.
Honest to God that was really uncalled for.
I really think I can smell that picture. Please replace it with a lolcat or something.
Lodwick didn't start Muxtape, Justin Ouellette did. Justin then got Jakob to help him with it, well after it had already launched. No poaching involved.
@Peter Baker: What makes you say that with certainty? The only reason I ask is that I found it disingenuous that he touted it as this cool new thing he found like other stuff on his blog, when he was actually an investor. It just makes it hard to trust his timeline.
@TallulahSkankhead: A guy who deletes his blog posts when the heat is on being disingenuous? Really?
It's actually a bit annoying because all the other college humor guys are cool and smart. Too bad this one jackass gives their whole thing a bad name.
