On the things we build and the things we consume.
another first in cakeland: nayeema brought us homemade blondies!
Yesterday we received the best cake salute ever: Nayeema brought homemade blondies (peanut butter brownies, if you’re a freshman to this category, like me) to her first meeting ever in our cafe. It was incredibly generous, and a marvellous idea, as well: if you have a meeting at MetaBroadcast, why not bring some indulgent treats to show us how it’s done your way? We’ll still provision the trademark cake, but there’s plenty of room for both, and we’ve never seen too much cake :)
Previously, Adam brought a cake on his first day in the office, and Jonathan also baked gloriously one Sunday which made for one of our sweetest Mondays yet. I’m in love with the ecosystem growing around our cake-centric culture!

just released on dvd: watch drive with us this thursday from 6pm
Drive, hot off the silver screen and released on DVD yesterday, has impressed a lot of people this year, with its story, atmosphere and soundtrack even more than the action scenes, and has had more than one buff and critic call it tarantinesque. It is no wonder that it won our recent movie night poll, and is right now on its way to our cafe cinema. Hearing that some people have watched it more than once already, I take it we’re in for quite a treat. More so the guest who will win the DVD in the draw at the end of the night :) Do reserve your seat today by getting in touch @gorgeoux. We’re busy gathering the treats!

the newest metabroadcat, and quite the pastry chef: adam horwich
This Monday we were all giddy as superstar systems engineer Adam finally joined our ranks after a waiting period that seemed even longer, on all sides, due to spanning across the holidays. Before Adam started, many a promise was made as to how much affection we’d show, including "kissing him all over his face" (probably best I don’t reveal who said that). Thankfully, he had the foresight to bring a home baked world class chocolate cake that arrested our senses above anything else:
I’ve seriously asked Adam whether he’d consider baking ALL the MetaBroadcast cakes. While charmed, I believe he’s chosen to only take that path if others join, and meanwhile stick with baking a better infrastructure for our platform. Fair enough. You can meet Adam on February 2nd from 6pm, and if you’d like to vote for his movie choice, that is Mean Girls. Who knows, it might bring about one of his cakes if he wins ;)
