Webroot Participates in the Community Food Share!

For the first time ever, Webroot has participated in the Community Food Share to help local (Boulder/Broomfield) communities beat hunger! We're still counting, but so far, we've collected over $3,000 in cash donations and 311 lbs of food! To everyone who helped out with this great cause, thank you so much for making this years' Corporate Challenge such a success! Special thanks to David Bennet for picking up the barrels, Daryll Glass for making a last minute Wal-Mart run, Michael Kanemoto for taking the photos, Kathy Jump for handling the collections, and to Sasha and Shawn for helping the Giving Committee load/move the food!

Let's play a little game.

RULES Person 1 starts with a word and Person 2 makes another word that starts with the last letter of the first word, for example: Person 1: Hello Person 2: Organic Person 3: Car If you are really really stuck then you can make a word starting with the first letter of the previous word, for example: Person 1: Anthrax Person 2: (I'm too stupid to come up with a word that starts with 😵 Armadillo --- No NOs No repeated words on the same thread page - Example: Two "elevate" replies on the same page No proper nouns - Example: John, Nissan No made up words (this also includes words that are meant to be separated but have their space removed) - Example: idunno, jackwad, pwned No slang or derogative words - Example: Well, you don't need any examples for this one... And remember, forum rules apply and have fun! First word: Magazine

Webroot Goes Racing!

As a warmup for my big race in the world famous Spa Francorchamps I have decided to two four races this weekend at Bishopscourt race track. With a limited number of people entering this round and with me using a top car the potential for some good results is possible! I will post some photos of the car and myself later in the week. I am hopefully going to attach a GoPro camera to capture some HD footage. Below is a image of yours truly at the track last year, I had a decent weekend despite some niggly car issues that we couldnt fix over the weekend. Hopefully I can be as lightweight and fast as the Webroot client :D Roy http://www.bishopscourt.org/

The pictures that make you look twice

These clever photos, by accident or design, have become more than meets the eye. They merge apparently mundane elements into incredible juxtapositions which have a mind-bending hint of the fairytale about them. With cameras often believed to reflect the real state of things, to create a facsimile of the true state of the world, when photographs show something wildly chimerical it delights the imagination. Many of the incredible images in this set play with our sense of perspective by bringing side by side two elements that are, in fact, distant from each other in depth. See here.

Webroot Racing - iRacing Season 2

Week 1: Season 2 of the iRacing Nationwide series kicked off this past week at Talladega, and the Webroot Racing Chevy was ready. Unfortunately the driver had a brain fade while making a green flag pit stop and was caught speeding on pit road, resulting in a 15 second penalty. This caused the car to lose the lead pack and run by itself for a number of laps. However, the car was strong and when the leaders caught the Webroot Chevy, they were unable to pass as the draft clearly showed that the Webroot car was among the fastest on the track. Start: 10, Finish 6, on lead lap.

May the Fourth be with You!

Today is Star Wars Day, in case you didn't know it! This is that special time of year when I go digging through my closet to find my Star Wars t-shirt and don it with pride. This is the funniest "May the 4th" YouTube video I've seen so far this year: What would you do if you had the powers of the force?

Clash of the titans: Amazing pictures of killer whales attacking pod of whales twice their size

[These unique pictures show the moment a group of killer whales attacked much larger sperm whales on a relentless hunting expedition. Five orcas pursued a pod of six sperm whales, whipping up a bloody frenzy in the middle of the ocean off the coast of Sri Lanka. The stunning images of the hunt were captured by photographer Shawn Heinrichs, a diver who found the courage to snap away just yards from the deadly fight.] See here.
