Mixed Bag On Christmas Morning

Normally Christmas day is one of excitement and anticipation, but I can't help but be a little disappointed that the Young Action were defeated yesterday on the Aboriginal Super Bowl quite handily. LT was shut out for the first time in many weeks, and my gamble of playing Alex Smith over David Carr or Trent Green did not pay off. That, combined with the fact that all three of his WRs caught touchdowns (Harrison, Fitzgerald, and Bruce), spelled a 104-77 beat down. Very sad.

But, on the bright side of things, it IS Christmas morning, and below is a collage of the dogs last night, and the environment this morning. To anyone who actually reads this blog, Merry Christmas! May you be surrounded by peace and love.

Murry Krismas!

This morning the group arrived with the finishing touches and the piece to put us over the top... our Daytona racing game. We made a little youCaster invitation to send to the WeatherBug employees inviting them to partake in the contest. You can see that here.

So far, the reaction seems to be very positive and enthusiastic about our entry. We'll find out tomorrow how we fared. As they say though, today, we're all winners!

Buggin' Holiday Decorations

Tomorrow a cross-functional team will judge the 2006 WeatherBug holiday decorations contest. Instead of competing against the departments as an individual, we poached two Marketing team members and the Product group embarked on a "Blue Collar" Christmas theme. We weighed different options... like PC Christmas, the wrong holiday, corporate Christmas, the Office Christmas, etc. I think we made a pretty good choice, though the Marketing team has thrown their best efforts against us, though on the other complete end of the spectrum.

Below are shots of our team decorating tonight, and I'll let you know how the judging goes tomorrow.

Here's a shot of Mike hanging the beginning of the icicle lights that stretch across all of the cubes on our row.

The group didn't think I could fit a tube sock on my head. I proved them wrong and probably did some brain damage in the process.

Here's a shot down our aisle as the team began hanging our "decorations" from the ceiling.


Our Christmas tree.

Here's the group at the end of the night posing in front of our tree.
