One of the staples of today’s Web 2.0 companies is the existence of Guitar Hero or Rock Band in the office** (we have both, thank you very much), and frequent jam sessions with an adult beverage or two. It’s like the evolution of the foosball table I suppose. (Yes, we have one of those too.) [...]
We’re starting the weekend off on a high note. PC Magazine reviewed BookSmart, and we earned the coveted 4 Stars rating. This is our first “official” product review (after all we’re still in beta), and it’s always a little scary to turn your baby over to someone whose primary goal is basically to beat it [...]

We had a rare April warm spell this past weekend. Things are heating up in San Francisco and at Blurb. Feels like a good day for a round-up.
We landed in the April issue of O: The Oprah Magazine. The term behemoth doesn’t even come close to describing Oprah. (Is there a term that does?) Over [...]
