Last night we bowled (rolled) against a team from another Pittsburgh-based startup Bright Innovations. I’ll reveal the outcome of the game after I first try to answer the question of why we roll. Immediately before racing to Dormont lanes for the game, I was sitting on a panel at Carnegie Mellon on entrepreneurship, etc. All …

Deeplocal is Hiring!
13
The Foosball table is quiet. The ultimate bean bag sacks are empty. The snarky comments are left unanswered. And (as a side note) there are too many guys in this office!
For those reasons, and the fact that we need some help, we’re seeking interns at Deeplocal for the spring semester (don’t worry guys, we won’t …
The Deeplocal Development Process
13
First off, a little background. This may have been mentioned before, but each week here at Deeplocal, a different person is responsible for washing the dishes. The same person is also responsible for writing a blog post. While I consider myself to be a pretty accomplished dishwasher, this is my first foray into the exciting …
So what is Deeplocal?
12
We call ourselves an innovation studio and for us, that is as packaged as we would like to be. What we really are is a team of smart, creative, tech-savvy, sociable, nice people. As one investor put it, Deeplocal is a culture more than anything else. My goal has always been to build a company …
ShowClix can’t bowl! (just teasing)

Great. Then this just might be up your alley.
What are these alleged Waffle Wednesdays that you speak of?
Need marketing, tech, or design advice? Developing a new project or business idea that we can help you to evolve? Interested in working …
My First Android (that wasn’t Data)
10
When I first heard about android I was excited but also a little confused. It seemed like a recipe for a “mobile windows” – the argument that most Mac folk use to explain why we don’t like windows is that it is itself not a bad thing, but that its need to support hardware that …
I am in pain because of obscure games
09
We built Pickupalooza.com for fun primarily. We had great support from people like Councilman Bill Peduto, our friends like Eric at Blackberry Studios, and Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy. It was great as long as we all came to games and stayed motivated. The problem being that we get busy sometimes. It was an awesome way to …

Sunday, November 8, 11:00am at Frick Park (Regent Square) in Regent Square
Here’s the info, straight from Adam:
Obscure Games are weekly meet-ups to play sports …
“I think we should rearrange the studio”
06
Hmm. Yes I suffer from the problem that every few months I have a desire to rearrange the studio. Heather says it is the most often heard phrase in the studio. David actually suggested it this time. We have some friends coming in from NYC tonight to visit the studio and thought it best we …
