We’re a group of friends who went to Olin College of Engineering. We launched this site for a variety of reasons. Zach wanted a place to be angry at things online, Sean wanted a design challenge, Brendan wanted to talk about gaming and Brian needed more frustration in his life.

In general our interests tend towards technology, web2.0, interaction design, internet fads, video games and other interesting stuff. We tend to have sort of quirky senses of humor, so if you feel insulted it probably wasn’t on purpose. Unless you do UI design for Microsoft. In that case we probably honestly meant it.

We came up with the name after an evening of brainstorming for available domains. Zach liked it because it made fun of Web2.0 sites, Sean liked it because he immediately thought of cool logos and Brian liked that it was memorable and came early in the alphabet. Brendan was in a meeting.
