Six Apart Recycles Everything

nobody@vox.com(Beau Smith) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:02:09 -0700

If you have just consumed a plastic bottle of Perrier and you're ready to part ways with the lovely green bottle, in which bin would you place it?

Bottles
Cans
Plastic

Be confused no more...

Using the power of regular expressions, we now have one container for all recyclables.

(I guess the dot should technically be a recycling symbol; good thing there are plenty more containers in the Six Apart offices.)

BLT: MoMA

After a little summer break, Bike Lunch Tuesdays are back at Six Apart!

Tuesday Oct 2nd we're gonna head over to the Museum of Modern Art for a speedy art viewing and take advantage of the fact that the first Tuesday of the month is free.

Food? Well you can bring your own, or perhaps we'll stop at Whole Foods or What's Up Dog on the way there... eat in Yerba Buena across the street from MoMA?

Leave the office at Noon?

Who's in?

Movable Type 4.0 launched!

MT4

It's been a lot of work and a lot of fun, but we've finally "shipped" Movable Type 4.0

Go Team!

Many new features, but I'm most excited about the abstraction of the default templates which will make skinning MT super simple... partly because I did this part... and partly because it was the reason I always hesitant to use MT years ago.

Moving: Vox to Movable Type!

MT Logo

Over the last 14 months I've had the opportunity to work with some brilliant colleagues here at Six Apart while leading the front-end development of Vox's blog templates and themes. It has been a great challenge and a fantastic experience.

As soon as we wrap up the last Vox features of 2006, I'll be joining the Movable Type team on the path to MT 4.0... it's gonna be awesome!

Six Apart is a great place to work.

Roller Derby Fight!!

Roller Derby Fight!

Roller Derby was a total blast this wknd as you may have heard from other Sixers. I got a new digicam that has buffers 5 seconds of video so when you hit record, it starts recording at 6 seconds... great for catching the minutes before the action.

Update: The story gets better... just found out that the ref who jumps in at the end was the girlfriend of the Sin City instigator who is seed hugging and pulling down the B.A.D. Girl. Roller Derby Rad.

Thanks to all the 6A peeps that worked so hard to get this Alpha release out. I look forward to all the new features that will make Comet rock.
