Wacky fun at the office

Even though things have been pretty busy over at Aggregate Knowledge lately -- that doesn't mean that we don't have fun.

In point of fact, yesterday, a good chunk of the office was down in L.A., attending a taping of "The Price Is Right". Bob Barker, an American TV institution some 35 years, is retiring this year. That means that getting into this show is harder than ever. But strings were pulled, favors called in, and so a bunch of folks were able to go.

I didn't attend, but the stories that I heard were pretty funny. One thing that tickled me, in particular, were the custom shirts that were printed up:

People who like Bob Barker also like a New Car!
Recommendations humor. It never gets old.

But it's not all trips for the chance to win cash and prizes. A few weeks ago, we finally became a "real" startup and got a foosball table installed. And by "got installed", I mean that our Controller, Rich, put it together himself. But nearly everyone is partaking - I got this shot on my cell phone on the way out of work the other day:

So far, no one's been hurt, and no office rivalries have formed (that I know of). Foosball is a fairly competitive sport, however, so who knows what will happen going forward...

You can tell that Zillow is an "established" startup, since we have a foosball table AND a ping poing table AND an air hockey table.

I think there are some Guitar Hero controllers floating around too...
