Function1

Look, I think we can all agree that The Godfather III sucked, and was a black mark on an otherwise amazing trilogy. The one (and probably only) highlight of the movie was Pacino giving us the sound-bite, “Just when I thought I was out, The pull me back in!”. And so we welcome [...]

In 2006, the famous (infamous? I can never get those two words straight) street artist Banksy put on a show in an LA warehouse named, “Barely Legal”.  The centerpiece of the show was “The Elephant In The Room”, a painted live elephant that seemed like, IMO,  a pretty blase metaphor all dressed up in shock [...]

Howdy all, and welcome to to the new decade.  To kick off the new year in style, you may have noticed that we re-branded our website.  New look and feel, new content, and new back-end engine:  we swapped Movable Type out in favor of Wordpress.  So what do you think?  Like it?  Love it?  Hate [...]

Howdy all.  It turns out that I may have been a little on the wrong side of correct for the past year that I’ve been telling people Function1 is perfect.  Shockingly, it turns out we’re not:

Uncommonly good?  Yep.
Surprisingly refreshing?  Check.
Devilishly handsome?  You betcha’.
But perfect?  Sadly, no.

As I was toying around with our Movable Type installation [...]

Function1 is a growing company, but not too big that we can’t take a minute out of our regular blog routine to welcome our two newest team members, Sandeep Khaneja and Hani Atalla.
Hani and Sandeep have actually been with us for several months, so my apologies for the late public welcome, but we’re thrilled to [...]

Welcome Brian Hak to the Function1 team! Brian joins us with years of ALUI experience; he’s the kind of guy that’s not content to just email alisupport@bea.com until he’s decompiled the code, completely diagnosed the problem, and is simply reporting the exact line the bug is on.
