NJI Unsolved Mysteries: Much Tastier than the 90s TV Show and with fewer aliens (we hope)

NJI Media is known for having an abundance of snacks and beverages stocked in our kitchen in order to keep our team running 24/7.  In fact, a recent study concluded that our team could survive for 163 days on our stockpiled Twizzlers and VitaminWater alone. However, someone or something has taken NJI snacking to an even further extreme.  

We have recently been bombarded with sweets on a weekly basis ranging from cupcakes to brownies.  Our thorough investigations have led nowhere. The only theory is that the Flying Spaghetti Monster may be behind this sugary mystery.

The Ultimate Treat Challenge

What's the best way to take a break at work? Vending machine? Walk around the block? What about a Treat Challenge?

Man’s Best Friend: Coworker

NJI Media’s HQ is in the heart of Old Town, VA, a top dog friendly destination. With more than five dog parks, Old Town welcomes dogs with open arms and so does NJI Media.

A man’s best friends should be welcomed at the workplace, and we’ve enforced this policy from the start.

Having a pet with you at work allows you to balance both your personal time and billable time.

Studies have shown the benefits of having a canine friend at the work place.  It reduces stress, increases productivity, and increases the communication level amongst others.

Online Curation: Dos and Don’ts

One zettabyte: that's a one, followed by 21 zeros. 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. A trillion gigabytes.

This is the amount of data we - all over the internet, all over the world - consumed in 2010. In 2011, that number jumped to 1.8 zettabytes. Talk about information overload: users are bombarded with all types of information and cannot tell the difference between the ones they want to view, and the ones they are forced to view.
