Update #6: Yet Another Update!

Posted on February 13

Dark Sky update time!

A few things (this update has some images, which don't seem to get sent with the update emails. So be sure to click the link to check it out on the website)...

1) We're excited to announce that we're bringing on a third fella, Jason LaPorte (see attached photo). Jason has years of experience making computers do awesome things. And he'll be making sure that our system is robust, stable, and won't go down just when a storm is about to hit you. Yey!

2) We've attached another teaser screenshot of the iPhone app. It's starting to really come together.

3) In the next couple weeks, we'll be starting to distribute beta versions of the app to those of you backers who opted for the beta reward. We'll be contacting those folks with more info in the not-too-distant-future.

4) We've been testing the senz umbrella. Good news: It totally stops the rain from falling on your head. Even better news: Look how sexy it makes one look?
