In the last days of viable barbecue weather (just before Vancouver gives way to eight months of rain-soaked video games and pizza weather) Gossamer Threads played host to a Perl Mongers gathering: an informal meetup of Perl gurus.
What better way to christen our new conference room than by gathering everyone for a big poker game after hours?
At Gossamer Threads, we love our shiny gadgets, whirring gizmos, and fantastical doodads. Christmas was kind to us, and many of us received a whirlwind of gadgets (or at least the monies to buy them) for gifts. The collective battery power used by all of our little electronics could probably power a small city.
This recent surge of electronics accumulation has sparked a competition in our office. Whose gadgets are the best? Who is the Gadget King??
It’s that season again! Let this mark the first holiday season for our beloved Gossamer Blog <3 During this special time, we at Gossamer Threads like to practice the oldest and most noblest of traditions: The White Elephant (aka The Theiving Secret Santa.)
Join us, as I walk you through the epic night of our staff dinner party!
Since 1999, Gossamer Threads has been a tenant in an early 20th century building called The Sun Tower, a structure that enjoys special historical status in the young city (incorporated in 1886) of Vancouver. Built in 1912 for local newspaper The Vancouver World, the tower was the tallest building in the British Empire at the time of its completion, succeeding the previous record-holder, The Dominion building, located just two blocks away.
