Hot Off the Press

Avocado Farm?

Brent Weaver - Saturday, August 14, 2010

A few weeks ago, Carol decided that we needed some greenery in the office. Instead of buying plants for the office, she slowly consumed several avocados at home and one-by-one brought us each a couple of seeds for us to grow our own plants on our desks.

So for the past few weeks, each of us has cared for at least one and up to three seeds in either shot glasses or plastic cups. We have had a few comments from clients walking through seeing shot glasses everywhere, so I just wanted to set the record straight that we are just experimenting with some low-level horticulture.

Here is the progress so far...


The best of my three...nice split, but been pretty lack in activity the last week or so...


Carol's = first to show solid green


Chad has nice splitage and some sparse downward growth


Erick's has some narrow splitage, but solid downward root growth


Steve's has some amazing curling root growth, however, I think he needs to upgrade from the shot glass


Waller's for sure has the most impressive root structure...might be time to start adding soil

So what does this have to do with web design? Nothing, but perhaps eventually we'll have our clients over for some home-made guac.

Graffiti Wall

Brent Weaver - Saturday, August 14, 2010

We have some wall space that we've been trying to fill for a while. I had a brainstorm and thought it would be a nice break from sitting in front of a monitor all day to be able to paint a little. So I bought our office a blank canvas and here are the rules:

  • Paint anything
  • Respect what others have painted
  • Only paint over someone else's stuff if you are able to play off it
  • All skill-levels welcome

We'll see what happens over the next few weeks, I'll post updates as I see things develop. 


Happy Birthday Waller

Brent Weaver - Wednesday, August 11, 2010

Today it was Waller's birthday, Carol baked a cake and Chad got some Transformers birthday hats along with some superhero temporary tattoos. The plan: when Waller ducks out for the first time to go to the restroom, we would all hide in the conference room, put on hats, light candles, and surprise him when he got back.

However, once setup, Erick decided to open the door himself to go throw away the cellophane from the packaging and the whole master plan failed. Oh well, we got some killer cake and all was well.

Happy Birthday Waller.
