Thanks everybody for visiting our site, it’s pretty amazing how the year has blown by.  Have fun and keep on blogging, y’all come back now! - Dustbowl

How else would one celebrate Treso De Mayo, than with a “Cinco Drinko Plinko Board”? Ahhh yes, a Cinco Drinko Plinko board featuring hand-painted artwork of everyone’s favorite man-rilla roomate, Tim!

Enjoy the video of it’s construction, and then stay posted to Dustbowl for pictures of it’s unveiling and other Treso De Mayo party images.

Also…t-shirts featuring the infamous design, are now available at the Altitude Cafe Press shop. Buy one, support a good cause, and scare your friends!

Last night, we gathered at the dizzying bubble bar in Davis Sq., to enjoy strange martini concoctions and general merriment…as we wished Michael Jobin farewell.

Watch the progression of drunkenness here

When it gets warm round these parts…we enjoy a little BBQ action.  Here’s to hoping it’s warm wherever you are, and that the BBQ gods have shined on you as well.

Oh, and then Travis noticed a little baby was running around the backyard.  That’s odd, eh?

At CTIA 2008 in Las Vegas, Mobile Satellite Ventures (MSV) unveiled 2 concept phone devices designed by Altitude that integrates satellite telephony technology into packages equivalent to everyday mobile phones.

Yesterday, we enjoyed a team-building excercise at the ICA. It’s a beautiful museum with some great art (currently, the “Street Level”, featuring some interesting art by William Cordova). I thought I’d share just a few of the images with ya’ll.

Later in the evening, we celebrated the launch of Altitude’s website (v.3) with margarita’s and music by DJ Sputniq and DJTJ. (facebook pictures abound!)

Expect more pictures (and explanations) soon enough.

They design groundbreaking collaborations between youth and industry - an innovation lab for companies, and an unbelievable learning opportunity for teenagers.
