Third Places

August 25th, 2010

Working from home is sometimes part of a grand scheme while commuting to work every day. You think to yourself – if only I could roll out of bed and work! The Oatmeal has a great post on why working at home is both awesome and horrible.

Then one day you finally get to the point where you can work from home and think – this is great! Now I have the freedom to go out and work out of my home!

Anyway, this is where your third places come in. We’re a fan of them. They keep you sane when you need to work from home. Even though there’s a wave of  growing resentment towards people that show up to a coffee shop or restaurant to park themselves and work, you have to admit that you like getting out of the house.

So we’re going to document some of the places we hang out in to work. Maybe show you some of the people we meet along the way. Because no man is an island, you can’t work in a bubble, and only the extremely motivated can work up the energy to make their own espresso-based drinks at home.

We’re growing!

July 22nd, 2010

We’re growing quite a bit this month.
Summer is sometimes a slow season, but not here! We’d like to introduce you to two of our newest guys in development, Alex Petrescu and Aidrian O’Connor.

Alex truly loves technology. His work on websites and applications frequently use emerging tech trends, yet he also prides himself on making his work “future proof”. Working as the Director of Development at his most recent gig at Emerge Partners, we’re very excited to have such a passionate and knowledgeable coder and innovator on our team.

Aidrian comes from a similarly long and productive development background. Starting with his own company (still around after 16 years!), he most recently worked as a Senior Presentation Layer Developer for Razorfish.

Welcome to Default Route!

Getting organized.

Hey there!
We’re putting together some interesting info about tech and our company at the moment. While getting new clients is rewarding, it’s also a combination of late nights and hard work. Stay tuned and we’ll be back with you shortly! :)
