Thursday Prankishness

By: Ryan, on May 22, 2009

Yesterday afternoon I got the pranking bug pretty bad. One of my coworkers had left the office for the afternoon to work from home, but she didn’t take her computer with her. Mike and I saw this as the perfect opportunity to “upgrade” her system to something a little more rapid prototype friendly. The results were pretty good for 15 minutes of work.

I sent a little email out to the company to inform them of the new hardware we were testing.

Good morning!

Many of you are familiar with the Product Design group here at Backcountry. However, since we’re relatively new, I wanted to give you a brief explanation of what we do here. It’s our job, in the most basic sense, to continue to push our products ahead of those of our competitors while at the same time helping to ensure that each product is engaging and easy to use for our customers. In order to do this, it’s important for us to have access to the latest and greatest design hardware and software. We recently requested Apple’s newest product design platform for Ana Salem, who works on ODAT. Last night it was delivered and installed, and honestly, we couldn’t be more pleased with the new system.

I think the ODAT team can look forward to Ana really pushing our perception of what’s possible with this new setup.
