Zach Klein announced on his blog yesterday that he is leaving College Humor. He’s off to spend time with his “ideas” and “relationships.”

In his goodbye, he reminisced about how College Humor, which started from a dorm room, had evolved into a full scale media empire but retained its college spirit:

Yet, we haven’t changed. We’re still defined by our charisma, and what we do still feels less like a business and more like a lifestyle. And, it’s still accurate to say that CV is just a bunch of friends working and living together, doing what they like and profiting from it.

Despite leaving, Zach will retain the most charismatic parts about him: his glasses and his haircut. And of course his money.

We already know that the boys at Connected Ventures live better than we do, but apparently they also eat better than we do too.

Zach Klein, sometimes Union Square house guest and one of the four founding members of College Humor, also runs video cooking site with his girlfriend. Their videos elicit envy we didn’t even know we had. Turns out it is possible to be jealous of people for doing their grocery shopping at Whole Foods.

Worse, Zach’s actually quite good at film editing. His video of cooking in Colombia makes you realize just how boring your last vacation was, that your friends are all ugly and that the “good deli” across from the office actually kind of sucks.

Sigh. At least we can watch from the sidelines.
