Dogpatch Labs

Working consecutive days at Dogpatch Labs reminds me of the time when I was in the Rails Rumble competition with Joe, Kevin, and Rob. That was intense, 48 hours to start and finish an app, fueled by competition and adrenaline. The last few days at Dogpatch has not been much different surprisingly. Now working on our own app, the motivation and drive is different but more meaningful. Rather than just a quick reward of trying to win a competition, this is going to make one cool app that we built and can be proud of.

The environment at Dogpatch is pretty awesome. Windows all around looking out to the SF Bay waters, sailboats, and more. The people are all really cool, and it's like working in real life with the great startup communities you usually only have contact through emails and virtual mediums.

Dogpatch Labs is our second headquarters for FanPulse, working out here a few times a week, it keeps things a little more dynamic. Also allows us to meetup with all the folk over here in San Francisco easier.

Tonight we're having a holiday get together, I'll take more pictures then. (Garry/Sachin, you guys coming out?)

Update, pictures from the FanPulse holiday get together (big excuse to reveal a small RC3 beta, get feedback, and drink beers with Dogpatch Labs residents at 4pm on a Thursday):
