Hackathon Night at the Office

Its late Thursday night, errr… early Friday morning here and the team is hacking around on the site. The ping pong table we are all working on is covered with empty redbull cans, rolos, starbursts, a broken Brookstone mini-remote control helicopter :-(, and strange trance/techno is playing through our Dell mini computer speakers (so rich). The white board is covered with cryptic scribbles that are about 10% coherent. I think there is a picture of a stick figure dancing on top of a staple’s ‘easy button’. Now the music has changed to “Mmm… Bop” by Hanson…. this night is taking a turn for the worse.

As our ears start to bleed, we are adding some of the finishing touches to Zaang that may or may not include facebook integration. We are also cranking on our advertising platform, but I’m going to be purposefully vague *suspense* about the specifics. If you are that curious stop by the office at about 2:17 am and I’ll fill you in, otherwise you can wait like everyone else.

My Redbull is now empty so I am going to go search and rescue another one – please do not let it be a sugarfree one. And if any of you reading this thought my rantings were funny I strongly recommend that you reevaluate what you consider is funny.

Much love,

Alex

P.S: Anyone watching BIDU?
