The Bagel Man Commeth


Friday, December 2nd, 2011

Remember, Remember, the 23rd of December
The Liberty departure and move -
I see no reason this holiday season
Our building situation won't improve!

That's right, ladies and gentlemen - thus begins our final month here at Liberty!  This time next month we'll be in our very own Tradition Studios - which is really amazing if you stop to think about it.  This won't be some building we borrowed and upgraded, nor will it be a space shared with another company.  No, this building was designed and built specifically for you. Everything was created for Digital Domain by Digital Domain. The area it's in was chosen by us.  The building itself was designed for us.  Essentially, this should equate to the best possible experience an employee could ask for.

Commutes will change. Dining options will be revealed.* Parking lots will be filled! How fantastic!
Over the holidays, remember you'll have something new and exciting to look forward to EVERY DAY next year - a brand new, top of the line building - with honest to goodness mortar and stone.
In the meantime, have a (conveniently holiday wreath-shaped) bagel!  Deck it with cream cheese and butter, and heat to taste with our delightful selection of toasters so that your very own, personal bagel can be prepared and decorated exactly as you like it!

Now, on to the 'New Business' section of the weekly email:  We here at Digital Domain Laboratories™** realize that flu season is just around the river bend, and we're there for you.  Using sophisticated techniques, thinkin' machine super computers broke down the problem into its most basic form and finally produced the following solution - Bagel Bowls.

But not just bagel bowls. Poppy Platters. Thyme Tongs. Even Cinnamon Serving Spoons.  These high tech devices will allowest you to grasp thine bagel without actually touching thine bagel, thus preventing the further spread of diseases (if you pleases). So say goodbye to those holiday colds - and say hello to a warm, delicious bagel!

*McDonalds. It's usually a McDonalds.
**Building better worlds.  Made out of Jell-o when possible

Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017, or What It's Like When a Nerd Takes Acid

Image
I went to Star Wars Celebration, and I feel the need to tell you about it and provide you with an honest, clear review of this event. You have been warned. Firstly, are you a fan of Star Wars ? I don't mean "Yes, I saw some of those. They were good." I'm not referring to the people who have seen each and every single film, some more than once. I'm not even talking to people who have a plush taun-taun, or that 'one really rad shirt from the first film in Japanese.' If you are one of these people, congratulations, you are well adjusted, have a strong appreciation for a culturally significant movie, and probably go to therapy for other reasons. Also, if you're a casual fan and live nearby, sure, give it a shot, maybe take a day trip to check some stuff out. If you wake up every morning in Star Wars sheets and eat Kellogg's C-3PO's  from a vintage 1997 Special Edition Re-Release Box with a light up lightsaber spork, DO I H...

TESLA REVIEW PART II: THE ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Image
PART I: THE BASICS Now we're on to the ACTUAL REVIEW! What's it like to drive a Tesla, for the average joe? I'm not a man who drives a BMW 3 series, or a Mercedes, or an Audi. Or a Lexus. Or an Acura. I don't have the latest Mazda 6 series. I have a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD Honda Accord. I imagine a large number of Tesla drivers will be coming from a similar experience - so I want to share what it's like moving from a car to an electric-powered rocket with wheels, airbags, and the most advanced cupholders I've ever seen. Here's the car. It's smaller than I thought, has no power, and I can't get the trunk open. A model Model 3. If I paid it to wear clothes, It would be a model model Model 3. As for the ACTUAL car: First, you gotta get INTO the thing. You walk up to it with cellphone in pocket, push in on a block bit which pops the handle out, pull the handle, and climb in. So far, I've noticed that this works 95% of the time. 5% of the time...

Breaking the Fast

     As the days pass by, one after the other, it becomes increasingly difficult to do basic things like wake up, shower, dress, pay bills, and maintain consciousness for more than sixty minutes at a time.   After a while, your log begins to look something like this: "Day 51 - The beer supply is dwindling and we've run out of twinkies.  Beard length has reached dangerous proportions.  Sandwiches and morale have both reached critically low levels. We may have to eat the dog."    Many of us have been there, distraught, seemingly without hope, wondering if, as time went by, you could easily determine which of your pets would be the least tough and stringy.  But lets not discuss pets. Lets talk about YOU.  What have you been doing to stay on track?  You're learning how to work in adverse environments right now.  Especially if you've EVER, even ONCE attempted to navigate the abysmal unemployment website. It truly is terr...
