August is always bitter sweet -- I am constantly driving around with the windows down, radio blaring nostalgic songs like "Boys of Summer," "California Girls" and "Sumer Breeze" -- trying to hold on to the last bit of summer that I can.

Although internships are notorious for giving interns tasks that no one else wants to do -- this is not the whole picture.
Last week, the interns working at Idealab in Pasadena, CA had a round table discussion on projects and internship expectations ... *gulp*. As you may know, Idealab is home to new technology ideas. As such, it provides a inspired setting and infrastructure to early stage start-ups.

Great job, Meredith! (We hope you'll come back next summer ...?)

Kittens and puppies and Scoble, OH MY!
With all the tiny canines and felines being shepharded into the extended Perfect Market family, it's a wonder we don't hold a 'Zoo Babies' party in the office. (Oh, that's right. Some of us don't like animals.) The bigger question may be, who is taking care of all these tiny fur tykes, as so many of us are out on the road. Last week, a healthy contingency headed to Seattle for client meetings and SMX Advanced. Another group headed east for Internet Week NYC. Meanwhile, back at the Pasadena HQ, Robert Scoble appeared for a Friday lunch to speak at Idealab University. Here are some of our favorite moments from the second week of June.

Christmas in June ...
We've got team members snowboarding up at Mammoth, and frosty treats served up at the local frozen yogurt shop for our company summer outing. Somehow, David Blaine levitating about London has magically appeared in our photo feed as well. It looks like he may be wearing a white Snuggie. See? It really is Christmas in June.
