Who Are Those Guys?

July 26th, 2006 by Ellen

No prizes for recognizing the reference in the title here – it’s much too obvious (please don’t tell me if it isn’t).

Here’s the current staff of Ilium Software (click for the big version):

Standing, left to right: Ken, Julie, Dan, Sheri, Matt, Ellen, Marc
Kneeling: Kevin, Lee

OK, we’ll have a prize (one of our programs, or, if you have all of them already, a handful of excellent stylus pens) for anyone who comes up with a good caption. Put any entries into the comments.

Share and Enjoy:

    Okay gang, you can quit smiling now. The bit about a raise was just a gag for the group photo. Now, back to work!

    Thanks Ellen, you folks are super cool to offer this!

    Here’s proof that mobile devices need bigger screens. Five years ago, no one had glasses, now 4 (or 5, if Marc wears them too) of us are wearing glasses.

    Please Microsoft, Palm, give us bigger screens!

    “Even the coolest superheroes needed real life personas, and to occaisonally meet together for coffee…”

  18. MG says:

    kay, the glasses thing pops up with my coworkers every so often, and with out much thought most of us lay blame on the monitors. But it turns out most my coworkers and I started wearing glasses before our careers started. 4th grade for me. Does that allow apply to you guys?

    As for my caption:
    “LIVE webcam of the crew at Illium — yet somehow they get their work done.”

    “If only we could remember our security PINs we could get into the office instead of standing here on the lawn … now where was we stored those PINs?”

    Oops … typo:

    “now where was it we stored those PINs?”

  25. Dennis says:

    “Gee, errrr, it’s a good thing we sent out those dress-code reminder emails in advance of Staff Photo Day!”

  26. Dennis says:

    “Yeah, and , like, that’s our teacher, Miss Kreuger, in the middle!”

    “This is our great staff at Ilium Software. Errr….please excuse our new hire who just HAD to show off his gadget on his waist.”

  31. Dave says:

    “Man that bowling ball is coming down the lane fast!”

  32. Jeffrey says:

    “This is our great staff at Ilium Software. The one with the gadget is Ken, and no, he is NOT the president of the company! In fact, he’s the one who makes sure no employees wander around the building without a security pass. And that gadget? It’s one of our dummy units.”

  33. Jeffrey says:

    “Your honor, I present exhibit A. This clearly shows the man on the left is the perpetrator of the company’s recent test hardware losses. Nothing like a nice group photo on a wonderful day to flush out the inside man.”

  40. UCCOFFEE says:

    according to the T-shirts’ colour, Kevin, Lee and Matt are the odd ones!

    according to the colour of the T-shirts,
    Ken matches with Sheri,
    Julie matches with Marc,
    Dan matches with Ellen,
    therefore Kevin, Lee and Matt are the odd ones!
