I just found out today that the Globe article I blogged about earlier ran on the front page of the paper.
No, not the front page of the technology section or the front page of the back of the paper. The front page of the entire damn paper.
Which tastes like awesome, am I right?
More importantly, major shout-out to Viximo Creators Juxsen and Lumen whose items were featured in color on the front page. You can see a picture of the article by scrolling down or by being Viximo’s Facebook friend.
I just realized that all of the colors I picked out for the conference rooms in the new Viximo office are the same colors as the Teletubbies!
This is phenomenal for one reason: I think I know how we should name our conference rooms now.
I’ve struck gold here. GOLD.
Apparently we could also name either our cleaning lady or our Friday afternoon entertainment Noo-Noo.
Hot on the tails of the post announcing the new Viximo Bungalow, I’m hitting you up with my color palette for the conference rooms. The colors look a little distorted since I took it with my 1972 Polaroid camera, but I think you get the point.
How do you name a set of conference rooms?
Apparently our neighbors don’t like our 2:00pm raves. That’s cool. We weren’t keen on sharing our toys with you anyways.
So we have to move.
We found an incredible place over in Davis Square in Cambridge.
Upside: It’s bad ass and girls will likely want to sleep with most of us (sorry Winfield) after visiting for mere minutes.
Downside: The place looks like a single mother with 13 kids and a coke habit occupied it first.
We’ve been told that if we’re not out of our current place by April 1st that our neighbors are calling the cops about the “working girl”.*
There is supposed to be new floors, painted walls, lighting, etc. This is the scene with 25 days until we move in:
Yeah, right. We’re going to be the first homeless dot-com.
Nobody working here even has a garage.
* Little did they know she’s nothing but a dirty tease.
We recently realized people wouldn’t think we’re a real company just by looking at the current viximo.com website that’s up right now. (I mean seriously, I think I drop the F bomb 121 times. Plus I ‘designed’ it in Microsoft Paint). What’s the best way for people slash potential investors slash ladies to think you’re legit?
Executive. Headshots.
So on our way back from lunch at the mall the other day, we stopped by the Sears Portrait Studio and had our photos taken for the Super Bad Ass New viximo.com Website (SBANv.cW from here on out):
Ravi Mehta, Executive PowerPoint Creator
Aaron Pfeifer, Executive Code Monkey slash Cougar Hunter
Rocky McQuacksterstein, Executive Animal and Special Needs Liason
Clark, Executive Pain-in-the-Ass and Chief Offender
Sean Lindsay, Executive Scalp Nutritionist and Last Remaining They Might Be Giants Fan.
Chris Chiodo, Executive Ball Kicker, Viximo Operations Director and Chief Consumer of Soy-based Products
Winfield Peterson, Executive New Guy and Vice-President of We Have No Idea Because He Hasn’t Started Yet
Brian Balfour, Chief Executive Bamboo Waterer and Director of Office Manager
In related news, I’d like to offer up my public apology to the security officer on the Segue. I didn’t mean to hurt you, but I had a $10 bet you couldn’t avoid the door. Thanks for lunch.
