Social Update - Summer 2011
I would like to present the launch of our new blog! NASA’s final space shuttle mission was kicked off on the same day so I hope there is no correlation between the finality of that event and our blogging frequency. My records show that the last social update was posted more than half a year ago so it’s time to brush off the quill and get to work.
Ignas and Karolis Visit Chicago
With a combined height of over 13 feet, Karolis and Ignas enforce the DevBridge stereotype of tall Lithuanian developers. I have a feeling that either:
- basketball-crazed mothers add something funny to our cereals with hopes of their kids becoming the next Arvydas Sabonis; or
- Chernobyl disaster related mutations have some positive side effects;
Either way, the two developers have joined our ranks in Chicago office for the duration of the summer. They are a natural fit: just a few days after arrival Karolis was receiving t-shirt shipments from ThinkGeek.com, destroying multiple burritos for lunch, and kicking our collective asses at Call of Duty. Well played, well played indeed.
Green Means of Transport
The first thing Martin did upon arrival of our brethren was to buy a couple of bicycles for Ignas and Karolis to explore Chicago. As of right now myself, Tim, Ignas, Karolis, and Gedas all bike to work. We’re looking for some nice wall or ceiling mounted racks to set up at the office, so if you know of such things – please drop me a line.
Tim and I have started riding during lunch, and, as the picture below should illustrate well, the workday just isn’t as difficult to cope with. Now if Martin would just stop ridiculing my pink helmet…
New Hires – Welcome Adam and Stanislovas
World domination can only be achieved in numbers. As such, we have expanded our ranks with two new hires – Adam and Stanislovas. Adam has worked in several creative agencies before joining DevBridge and in the two weeks he’s been here he has already managed to make us look prettier (no small feat if you’ve seen our pictures). Stanislovas has joined our Kaunas powerhouse of developers and we’re excited to get started on new projects that seem to be springing up like mushrooms after the rain.
DevBridge Picnic 2011
In preparation for our annual summer picnic, Adam has put together a design for our yearly shirts. I’m happy to report they came out great – check out the good-looking group below! We didn’t skimp out on the material this year and I’m planning on keeping five of these shirts and wearing them everywhere I go. I sincerely apologize to anyone who wants to invite me to his or her wedding, as I will be the only guy wearing a t-shirt.
