matt's surprise party

On Saturday night, we all surprised Matt for his birthday! When he and Courtney got done with church, we were all waiting at Dickey's Bar-b-que to surprise him! I only got a few pictures, and Ryan wasn't there because he was working (and really sick), but this deserved a post because we love our Stewarts :)

surprise!

Courtney did a great job of surprising her hubby!

Yay for friends! Happy Birthday Matt!! :)

Attention Bay Area developers: participate in our developer study!

Posted by Donal Mountain, App Engine Team

Starting later this year the App Engine team will be getting out of the office for a series of developer visits.

We want to come to your home or office (or wherever you use App Engine), and look over your shoulder so that we can learn first-hand about how you use our product. Our goal is to see how App Engine fits into your development process. We want to learn what's working for you and what's frustrating you.

The initial round of visits will be to developers in the San Francisco Bay Area, and then in the new year we will visit developers elsewhere in the US. If you would like to participate, please take a few minutes to complete this sign-up form. That link also contains information about exactly what's involved in the field visit. Developers who we end up visiting will receive $150 compensation. For questions and updates check the App Engine discussion group.

We look forward to meeting as many of you as possible!
