THING YOU SHOULD GET BRIAN OF THE WEEK
What: Any Of These Nerf Guns
Why: Because Brian deserves it.
SIDE NOTE TIME: So. This weekend, I installed a bunch of bike racks at Salesforce (don’t ask). One of the locations was what i can best describe as an “adult” play area in the basement level of one of the buildings. It included video game consoles, ping pong and pool tables, a wood working / bike tool area, workout equipment, and a giant bar complete with working taps. However, the most prevalent item was various Nerf weapons scattered throughout the room. Basically, the most successful workers of my generation are continuously shooting each other with foam darts. That’s why if you give me the tools, I will get the best jobs, win their war games, and become the King of Salesforce. Or something.

Webtacularly yours,
Brian
