--Beth Kwon, Newsweek.

This week we unleashed our newest product — the Homepage Studio — to the outside world. We've been developing this uber-tool within our factory walls for some time now, and we're excited to share it with everyone. Maggie's able to breathe easier now. Michelle and Heather are still coming in at the crack of dawn, but maybe now we'll see them leave before midnight. And finally, Tim Breen continues to be as focused as ever, only now he's moved on to another product percolating in the lab.

We also have a bunch of new faces joining the 'Pod. Adam Marcus joins us as a Marketing Associate from Manhattan, where he worked at NBA.com. Having been through Gotham's gridlock one too many times, Adam has found himself a bike, a 10-month old Australian shepherd named Rudy, and has begun to explore Billsville in earnest. Rich Garabedian can be found in our ever-expanding east wing as a Software Engineer. Rich has an interesting background as a physical therapist (he was Donald Trump's bodyguard's trainer) and as an engineer for General Dynamics where he worked on the missile firing system in Trident submarines. Boom! John Kalisz also joins us as a Quality Assurance Engineer from General Dynamics. John worked in the Knolls Atomic Power Lab where he developed code that we're not authorized to discuss... oh well.
