New Chef in da Kitchen

In news related to our next big thing around here, I'd like to take a brief moment to welcome aboard our newest Chef, the multi-talented Brian Bailey. Brian officially joined the Firewheel / IconBuffet team about 2 weeks ago, and we've been keeping him very busy.

Sadly he worked his first two weeks here without a desk, enduring MacBook Pro burns and the onset of carpel tunnel syndrome. Thanks to IKEA, we're moving ahead though.

Brian joins us assigned with the illustrious task of ensuring the quality and usability of our products — including our forthcoming game (more on that later). We're extraordinarily grateful to have Brian on the team, and we're looking forward to showing off some of his early work.

For those keeping score at home, we now have as many Brians (2) at Firewheel as we do Johns (also 2). If we factor in our offsite accounting team we also add a third Brian and third John as well. Not making this up.

Intriguing. My company now has a 4 person development team; 3 of whom are Mikes. We just got new office furniture from Ikea. (The intern had to put it together.) Are you spying on us?

Good to have you on board, Brian!

Welcome!

I was just saying to MaskedJedi this morning, “Doesn't it seem like Firewheel is under-staffed? Maybe they should hire some more people.” :)

@JBVisions — Well, my wife was officially employed here before our baby arrived last year. Regarding future female employment, you'll just have to stay tuned. I'm not at liberty to comment right now.
