Summer Lovin’

Happy Summer Solstice, Quirkaphiles! It is officially the longest day of the year, which means more sunlight by which to invent.

During last week’s Town Meeting, the community got to meet the expanded Quirky team, hear Ben describe our amazing progress on many fronts, and engage in a no-holds-barred live Q&A session. Jared Joyce didn’t even need to log on to participate since he was in town and decided to stop by for a visit.

Naturally, the excitement led to the creation of our new favorite forum thread entitled “You Know You’re a Quirky Addict When……..” where community members confessed (or dare I say, flaunted?) symptoms of their addiction, like:

“…you know what Persian Red is.”

“…you talk about Quirky at least three times at a party over the weekend.”

“You start a thread on the forum called ‘You Know You’re A Quirky Addict When…….’”

Michael Taylor, creator of the thread, posted “…you call Quirky to see if they can just set the phone down so you listen to the Town Hall meeting and use your Blackberry to post about it in this thread!” immediately after speaking to me on the phone!

As if there weren’t enough reasons to love Quirky, here’s one more, illustrated quite effectively by the original DigiDude himself, Matt Poprocki!
