I wanted to thank Richard Ziade and Javier Julio for inviting me up to Arc90 for yesterday's 80's style arcade game night. Arc90 is a really exciting place and the people who work there seem to be very passionate both about technology and about having fun (and I can't tell you how important it is to have a good balance between the two). It was nothing but good times and I don't think that I've laughed so much in a long while.

If for no other reason, it was enjoyable to see people who are not just about punching in and punching out of work. Arc90 seems to foster a most excellent group atmosphere that is, from what I have seen, a very rare thing. Thanks guys!

Ha ha ha... I don't like to let word get around - it give me more time to concentrate on ColdFusion ;)

Ben - it was great having you there. Lots-o-fun. I'm glad none of the kids at Arc90 didn't embarrass themselves...oh wait.

It was great having you here buddy! As you can see we really know how to enjoy ourselves. I'm sure all you are think about now is Ninja Baseball Batmans right? :) Hope all is well man. Enjoy the weekend! Again thanks for coming out.

That game was bananas!

Posted by Ben Nadel on Dec 7, 2007 at 3:05 PM

Well the game wasn't literally bananas. It was baseball bat shaped heroes fighting fat ugly looking baseball shaped enemies. What was bananas was the fact that we played the game! :)

Or maybe the bananas were the ones playing? ;-)
