We'd like to ask you what is your perfect office you'd like to work in? What utilities or gadgets would you like to have at your workplace? What is necessary for you to get up early in the morning and go to the work with a smile on your face just like we do?
It's a well known fact that a bit of fun at work makes people less stressed and more productive. You can easily increase people's self-esteem and state of mind by making their environment inspiringly vibrant, relaxing and soothing.
Take a look for example at Google HQ. Probably it is a best place to work in on earth. Nevertheless, of course our place is much better than theirs :)
For us, having fun at work is an important part of the day. Except of the everyday satisfaction we get from doing our jobs, we like to kick ourselves' asses in video games for a minute of two, race with our R/C cars or spend some time in the evenings - having a beer, do sports like bouldering, biking or offroad.
Now we're planning to make our offroad car even more awesome and then make a stress test of our baby :). Stay tuned for a video from our 4x4 adventures.
Recently we've been creating a list of things we'd like to have at the office. Some of them are useful, funny or are just a bit of absurd.
That's the list of things we'd like to have in our office:
- a gaming console
- Newton craddle / Foucault pendulum
- private Coke vending machine - just for fun (and to make additional profit from nearby offices workers)
- darts
- hammock - to get some rest above other's desks
- bouldering wall
- microwave oven (to test some of the exploding myths shown in MythBusters episodes)
- table soccer
- a ball of osmium - because it's small and heavy
- ruler - because we can't remember to buy one and need to print it every time we need it
- breathalyzer
- AR Drone
- more duct tape to make amazing things like those
What are your ideas for a perfect office?
Your office would be heaps better if it had video conferencing (not that you need it, since you're all stationed in Poland).
Check out Google Hong Kong HQ. I love their video conferencing equipment!

We were thinking about live video broadcast from our office :) What do you think about that?
Hell yeah!
I would watch!

I think this would be fun! It would be neat to chat with everyone then too?

I agree with this!

Paper ruler? Thanks for the link! If only there was a printable stapler… always needing one of those ;-)
breathalyzer - always comes in handy :)
Edit: a gaming console? Xbox 360 + Kinect! (if you want a bit of exercise at the same time) - or Halo / CoD for some good first-person shooters.

Why do I not see a playground slide on this list? Everyone needs a slide!

What? Are you drinking there? Well if you are, you'll also need a sauna (yes, I like sauna, I'm a finn).
Force Dynamics was also awesome (yes, I like motorsports, I'm a finn).

Along the lines of the CMU Coke machine, what about if you had a drinks machine that accepted Paypal? Then we could buy you a drink when you fixed our bugs and implemented our wishes.
A free-running robot would be fun to have around, or failing that, an office cat.
Polish vodka
I was thinking Coke or beer. Vodka would need careful calibration. See http://xkcd.com/323/
I wonder which Wikidot staff-member logged out to post that. ;-)
I prefer dogs… :)
