In the crossfire between the landlord and the city, Automattic got [evicted][evicted] from their home on Pier 38 on Friday.
At the end of every week, some of the [Automatticians][automatticians] have been having #burittofridays, so they made one last burrito run before closing the doors. As Beau, put it, “We came in with a bang, and out with a burrito.”
Pier 38, South of Market, San Francisco, California
Olympus E-P2, Lumix G HD 14-14 f/4-5.8 OIS
1/320s @ ƒ9, iso 200, 19mm (38mm)
One of the advantages of working for a distributed company is that now that we are homeless, we’ll simply be working from home. The Bay Area crew won’t get to see each other each week though. 🙁
And here is one last parting shot from [our fearless leader][matt]:
Pier 38, South of Market, San Francisco, California
Olympus E-P2, Lumix G HD 14-14 f/4-5.8 OIS
1/400sec @ ƒ8, iso 200, 103mm (206mm)
He leaves us with a bit of= T.S. Eliot:
> We shall not cease from exploration
> And the end of all our exploring
> Will be to arrive where we started
> And know the place for the first time.
I’ll miss you guys.
