Sorry for the delay. It’s finals week. Yeah… In other news, we have changed offices! We’ve been accepted to TechArb 2.0, the University of Michigan’s new student business incubator. If you live in Ann Arbor, you might’ve seen us carrying loads of desks and chairs on our backs during the move. Thanks to Jason from Mobiata for snapping this pic.

Phonagle: The Documentary (part 1)

May 27th, 2009 by Eric in Office Space

We have decided to document our adventures this summer in a series of videos. Here is the first installment which covers our trip to Ikea and setting up the office. Enjoy!


Moving In

May 26th, 2009 by Ben in Office Space

We’ve officially moved into our new office space.  It took several trips to IKEA and various jaunts around Ann Arbor and the surrounding environs to get there, but the space is starting to come together.  Our best find was a $20 glass table acquired from a nice lady in Ypsilanti.  Not only does having a glass table give us a nice fancy place to work, but we can use it as a horizontal whiteboard!  We’ve posted a short video documenting our journey from empty office to full office.  Check it out, if for no other reason than the novelty of the non-copyrighted music we added.

The new office is a great space.  We’re working closely with the two other teams from RPM 10 as well as a number of teams that are part of the newly formed (and very cool) Maize Ventures initiative.

We are now accepting suggestions on how to deal with the lack of windows; not only do we have no idea what time of day it is, but the smell of dry erase markers lingers for days.

We’re really excited about what’s happening here; more details to follow.
