Tom, I have an idea maybe you should make exclusive Alien Hominid stuff or something of that nature that you only have in the office, and charge people to see how you work. Sorry guys, but now everyone has to wear clothes. I'm sure when it was from home some naked NG sprucing up was going on.

Congrats Tom!

I have Verizon FIOS (Verizon's Fiber Optic), my area was one of the first places to have it. I must say it is awesome and extremely cheap, because of the Comcast competition. DSL is much better because it doesn't use shared bandwidth. Cable lines use shared bandwidth so depending on the amount of activity in your area, it can severely limit your upload/download ratios.

Sorry, I didn't catch it. Is there going to be some sort of kitschy giftshop, or any sort of public face on this place? Or strictly office space?

The one thing force produces is resistance.

Typically, there's a hell of a lot more vinyl figurines than books, but I'll let you off. Congrats on the office and when are we going to see the big NG Tank Logo plastered on the walls?

That's great news.

I made some small front page tweeks tonight and added a little Flash banner by Stamper.

I must say that I don't like it that much, it looks a bit plain. The banner is really cool, but the rest seems to have gotten a bit dull. I guess it looks the same now as it did before, but now that there are more spaces you can see it more.

Maybe we'll throw some chickens in there for all you oldskool NG fans who miss them!

Alright, just don't kill it now.

Finally... Here's a teaser pic from the office. It's shelves full of vinyl figurines and books.

That's nice, but how about some pics from outside perhaps?

You'll pay that off eventually. If all else fails put Stamper on the street.

That's my back-up plan!

Woo Hoo!
You're going to have to change your profile message now... I'm pretty sure NG is becoming a company.

So what diffrent rooms and such will be in this great office?

It was still created by a dumb kid, though. :)

The office has a central open space where we will be working. It also has some rooms that will currently be unused. I plan to tear down some walls to expand the kitchen area into a back corner room, for a much larger "hang out" lounge sorta deal.

The first floor of the building is empty warehouse space. I'm hoping we can have events and galleries there. If mortgage payments ever get tight, we can rent it out to someone else (after putting Stamper out on the street first, of course).

I'll post an external pic once settlement is complete in mid-November. I have this strange paranoia about not revealing the location until I actually own the buiding.

Alright... Here's another pic. This is basically the central area, where there are four desk spaces set up like a giant plus sign. Each space could easily hold two people or even squeeze three, but currently everyone will get their own full space!

It already has desks, so we can just get to work without any expenses. The long-term plan is to overhaul everything, though.
