Mahalo update!

Aug 2, 2007 Author: Veronica | Filed under: work

Today is my first day of work at Mahalo, and I’m down in Santa Monica getting to know everyone. I had a nice vacation, but it feels good to be working and talking about projects again. The show is going to be called Mahalo Daily, and we’re planning on going live in September! We want to have a few shows in the bag first, considering I have to fly back East for a wedding for a week next month. But don’t worry, we’ll have something special for you coming even sooner!

Pictures from today:

The Mahalo office.

My desk! Very messy, I know.

My new BFF.

L to R, (seated): bad posture, good posture, absolutely terrible posture, slightly less terrible but still far from anything that resembles good posture.

I look forward to the new show in September. But I do miss you on BOL, it really is not the same with out you Veronica. Still, good luck and best wishes to you on your new job…

Great pics, you should send them to Office Snapshots (http://www.officesnapshots.com), they already have Mahalo office pictures but these would be a great addition. Can’t wait for the new show although I have to agree, your absense at BOL is felt.

And dude, are those 24-inch iMacs?! Holy cow!

nice working place! I have a Q, Is you Blog hosted At Mahalo? because Mahalo had a down time of 30 min. and you blog was down for the same time
sheala August 3rd, 2007 at 5:05 am 11

Esxul August 3rd, 2007 at 6:13 am 12

What wallpaper is on your computer?
Casey August 3rd, 2007 at 6:38 am 13

Oh wow, congrats on your first day. Sounds like it went well. I thought you said you work at Mahalo, not some Apple store. Looking forward to the new show!
Veronica August 3rd, 2007 at 6:50 am 14

@Tales – Nope, my blog is hosted by Laughing Squid in SF! I don’t remember having any downtime yesterday…
slayerboy August 3rd, 2007 at 7:14 am 15

Can’t wait to see the new projects!
eric f. August 3rd, 2007 at 8:26 am 16

I L O V E bulldogs. If I weren’t such a cat person, I’d get one.
Kato August 3rd, 2007 at 9:24 am 17

Looking forward to Mahalo Daily.
Jyh August 3rd, 2007 at 10:16 am 18

wunderbar! get settled!
Taylor C. August 3rd, 2007 at 11:39 am 19

Congratulations again, this looks really exiting! It must be nice to finally be unhooked from your windows laptop at CNET and be able to use your MBP more regularly. Mahalo seems very Mac-centric. Can’t wait to see Mahalo Daily. .

John B. August 3rd, 2007 at 3:10 pm 21

Geez, I have the SAME monitor hooked up to my 15″ MacBook Pro as a dual monitor. Sweet!

I just wish mine was at home…
Rodrigo August 3rd, 2007 at 3:22 pm 22

Jason Huebel August 4th, 2007 at 4:24 pm 27

We have to wait until September?
Jason Huebel August 4th, 2007 at 4:28 pm 28

BTW, Toro is awesome. I’d love to have a bulldog, but they drool and fart a lot.
Matt Wolfe August 5th, 2007 at 6:40 am 29

For some reason the first picture looks like one of the LAN Centers near my house >.
Mike August 6th, 2007 at 1:31 pm 30

Mahalo Daily! Woohoo!
DinoHorse August 6th, 2007 at 1:50 pm 31

That factory open office look of the Mahalo offices reminds me of the 2000’s Internet bubble…. of course we are in new times now … Good luck Vero!
Akela Talamasca August 6th, 2007 at 2:40 pm 32

Have you moved to Santa Monica, then? No longer in SF? Gweh… there goes any chance of a Random Victoria Sighting!

My I ask you to add me on Twitter? I’m akelaa… some of the things you tweet are irresistable to me, but I can’t comment back!
Alex August 6th, 2007 at 2:57 pm 33

Wow, speaking of marriage, I would marry those computers in that office. Also, I found it funny that you had a Microsoft mouse on your Macbook pro…
Curtis Larkin August 6th, 2007 at 7:00 pm 34

Good gravy, what up with that circa ‘99 wired MS mouse? I just love the red glow.
Veronica August 6th, 2007 at 8:20 pm 35

@Akela – Do you mean a random Veronica sighting? I’ll see your replies to my twitters if you use @veronica in your replies. And no, I’m not moving to LA.
Don August 7th, 2007 at 4:34 am 36

Veronica….now that you have a new gig, you may want to change your Twitter profile.

p.s. I enjoy reading you blog – you have a good sense of humor.
andrew August 10th, 2007 at 1:46 am 37

Hey I use the same mouse as you on my mac…

A plain old simple Optical Microsoft Muse…

We have a lot in common!!!!!!maybe
tamgo August 10th, 2007 at 4:24 am 38

Sweet office!! Mine isn’t all that bad, but I sure wish I could be a bit closer to your current reality.

Enjoy.
art August 10th, 2007 at 11:34 pm 39

Hey! I am your BOL listener from Bangkok, Thailand. Like many persons felt and posted, BOL is not the same without you. Honestly, I feel annoying with your ex-podcasters and probably gonna find other tech podcast. I’ll see your work in Mahalo.
Frank Mercer August 14th, 2007 at 7:57 am 40

I must say that is one cute Bull Dog. Is he your new co-host…:-)
Nicholas August 14th, 2007 at 9:11 am 41

I can never remember how to spell mahalo! I keep coming to this blog to find it. It’s not a very english like word.
That’s a good set up btw, laptop hey. You get to take your work home and take your home with you to work.
