Jessica wishes the world to know she is 8 months pregnant in that picture, not just fat.

Looks like my plan for my all-black outfit to have a "slimming" effect backfired :)

Everyone can recognize the glow.

Remember, the camera adds at least 10 pounds.

It was very effective at 4 months: http://ourdoings.com/brlewis/2008-08-11

Don't worry, I had to click on "enlarge" to really see it. ;)

Don't worry Jessica, you are always beautiful in my eyes.

You lost a precious opportunity to earn some brownie points by not removing "just" from that comment. j/k :)

It looks like some album cover.

That has to be one of the shortest, least informative articles I've ever read about YCombinator.

Budget cuts at FastCompany?

Yeah I only submitted it because I thought it was cool that YC landed in Fast Company (I'm a subscriber). And I didn't expect to see Paul, Trevor and Jessica while in my porcelain office yesterday.

It's from the style-over-substance part of Fast Company. In the magazine, the photo is full page with the article superimposed.

Well, if you weren't familiar with YC, it's informative - perhaps informative enough to go find out more.

I did think the use of the "schools" verb in the title was a bit odd (Means something less positive to me).

Though it is a little inaccurate; the article is dated too recently to miss that Boston is right out.

Perhaps it was built awhile back, and just recently published?

Well judging from the pg's 8 months pregnant comment, it would place it (the photo at least) 3 months ago... Which would have been before the announcement.

(Although, when I said schools, I mean it's use as a verb, not the two different locations).

I just recognized that I missed this reply!

What I meant to call as inaccurate is that the article is dated 18 March and describes the two locations; post-announcement publication.

Your consideration of the word "schools" was not at all being indicted.

Your dating of the picture was some nice cross-referencing!

Aye, 'schools' is a generally negative term, or at least that's what my sentiment classifier thinks. I can't really think of a replacement off the top of my head, though - 'educates'?

That all-orange room is snazzy, and it shows up in all the photographs. What is that spiky wall made of?

Go Kate! (the architect).

Also wishing there was more meat to the article.

Is there a link to info about the architecture somewhere?

Looks almost exactly like the same acoustic foam that is used in the studio at the community radio station I occasionally volunteer at.

I'm guessing this has been painted over to match the wall?

I don't think it would work to paint this stuff. Fortunately the wall is pretty close to chromatic orange, and so were the panels.

That's why I was wondering. I've never seen it in orange before (I was researching acoustic foam before for use at home) and it just seemed like an odd thing to do if it had an actual use other than looking good.

That being said, I suppose one could always dye it - that might work.

The article was a bit short so is there anything to be understood about YC from the photo where Jessica and Trevor are sitting up in the front and Paul is standing way in the back?

Did anybody not know any of these 80 words yet?
