If you're one of our newest hires, Mike Cvet or Peter Scott, you don't get to settle in for very long before we're out the door for some company bonding.

Mike stepped off the plane from Canada, hacked a bit, ate some lunch, and then the whole team went straight to the House of Air. It's a trampoline park in Crissy Field with huge trampolines for free bouncing and even a trampoline dodgeball court. We soon regretted hiring Mike because he destroyed us all, forcing us to acknowledge the truth of the cliche that, yes, we were all the last picked in dodgeball as children. Mike later revealed that Kung Fu and Cross Fit are his hobbies (information that would have been incredibly valuable pre-dodgeball). He also takes pretty great panoramic pictures and has explored every nook and cranny of the city in under 3 months. He's a great hacker out of University of Toronto, bringing incredible skills to our search and document analysis efforts. And bonus, he lets us make fun of his very slight Canadian accent. At this point, we're beginning to wonder what Mike can't do. 

You can see Mike standing triumphantly in the middle.

On Peter Scott's first day we took everyone to a Giants game at AT&T park. Silicon Valley Bank supplied us with a fancy suite and infinite snacks. We even managed to watch some of the game despite all the free-flowing food and beverages.

Mild mannered Peter never ceases to amaze us with mysterious clues about his past in the faraway land of Iowa. Want to go hiking on Angel Island, Peter? Why yes, I'm an expert hiker. Have you ever traveled abroad, Peter? Why yes, I spent a semester in Taiwan and I don't speak a word of Taiwanese. Want to play poker Peter? Why yes, I've never played, but I almost just won the whole game. He joined us right after finishing his Masters at Iowa State where he worked on everything from crypto, to web apps to bioinformatics. Now he's making sense of our billions of documents. In fact, we are also beginning to wonder what Peter can't do...

And here's Peter looking like he's wondering what he's gotten himself into:

- Repeat as many steps from Day 1 as you can manage [Caution: you may be a little tired]

Oh, and have we mentioned that we're hiring?
