It Works, Right Brent?

We're at Number 8 Cafe down in Chinatown for our weekly lunch. We order the usual. Brent has the sweet and sour pork, one egg roll, Pepsi and a tall glass of ice. Jeremy has the sesame chicken. I order the Singapore noodles, with no salt. It's usually a toss up for me - Singapore noodles or beef brisket with chui chow sauce. I like to keep Joe, Andy and Gary (the Number 8 owners) guessing. Gotta have some variety in life right?

I approached Brent earlier in the morning and asked him if he was a strong swimmer. He mumbled something about a life saving badge and I said "Great! I would like to send you to Ottawa and push you off a dock. I'll pay all the expenses....." So over lunch I explained to Jeremy and Brent that the Flugtag contest was one way of creating some interesting content for our long awaited new Manlab site, We never seem to have enough time to make the perfect web site since we're always so busy. We're the poster child for "The shoemaker's children are often shoeless" proverb. So I said let's blog this Flugtag thing and it will be a great way of showcasing our studio. It will show how we think, how we solve problems and how we always seem to work some fun into our work. "It'll be great. We just need to use our new Blog module in miUpdate. It's working right Brent?"
