The future home of rock stars
I love this building. I would love to turn it into the Meticulous headquarters. I only hope we can last long enough for the building before the area gets gentrified.
This is the web home of John Athayde, designer, musician, developer, and author. Growing tired of a previous design, he went minimal with this one. You can read more on the about page.

damnit Sullivan, ruining our fun. (can we have the packs? please?!)
January 16, 2003 at 9:55 PM
oh fine... but I still haven't tested them yet. And I guess you can keep the hearse, too, so long as no one crashes it into the spare accelerator rack (or Jeanine).

rule #4? Co-workers cannot use big words around the house architect such as "aformentioned", "gentrified" or "building." They only confuse me. Yes one day I will be registered...
Proposed amendment to Rule #F - Change the fire pole into a strippers pole. (for those of us who need entertainment other than musical instruments)
January 17, 2003 at 12:58 PM
Rule #5: <strong>SUBWAY</strong>.
January 17, 2003 at 12:58 PM
There will be NO crossing of the streams in the office. capish?
January 17, 2003 at 1:02 PM
can we say structure?
January 17, 2003 at 5:11 PM
1st design project - install full working Starbucks inside office.
2nd design project - design conference table to encompass the fire/strippers pole. Instant table AND pole dancing!!! What could be better??
This will gurantee and influx of clients. (I used a dictionary for "influx.")
And no, you can't say "structure." Architecture has nothing to do with structure. At least I don't think it does....
<b>Rule # 6 </b>- Anyone who intentionally hits another co-worker in the face with a ball from the pit gets sent to "Time-Out" for 10 minutes.
These posts are the most work I've done all day. I think I need another job.

Also, in true PIXAR style, everyone's work area will be their own to decorate as they please. The building of sleeping areas will be encoruaged. <a href="http://www.monicabellucci.it/calendario2001/calendario2001.html" rel="nofollow">Monica Belucci Calendars</a> will be encouraged. Sara, you can have your Aragorn calendar. fine.

<em>what's this rule #5, though? you want sandwiches? you want a full-working metro? wtf.</em>
WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA SO MUCH?
January 17, 2003 at 5:51 PM
i don't generally care for beefcake type calendars, blah blah muscles. it's boring. so there'll be none of that in my area, i assure you.
however. there may be a print or two by the late <a href="http://www.eroticartcollection.com/Herb_Ritts/Herb_Ritts_01.html" rel="nofollow">herb ritts</a>. it's "ART."
