THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Insider Diva

This Monday, a bunch of Tripodians making the move boarded a bus (at 7:00 a.m. no less!) that took them on a whirlwind tour of the Boston and Waltham area. Becoming familiar with an area is the first step toward being happy there. Lots of people were excited about the urban feel of Waltham and surrounding towns. There were more than three restaurants to choose from. You could get a cup of coffee after 6:00 p.m. Crazy. The true joys of city living!

The Tripod troupe also dropped in on the Waltham office. There, they were wowed by the exquisite office furniture and fixtures — we're talking a marble counter in the ladies' room, folks! Not that we don't love our third floor of the factory, but a little luxury never hurt anyone! The best part of the offices for more than a few people was the 24-hour, state-of-the-art fitness center. No more dragging ourselves to the nasty, smelly, teenager-infested Williams College gym. Ahhhh ...

And last, but not least, we wanted to give you all a heads up on what's happening in the BUILD area of the Tripod site. Come May, you'll see a brand-new product: The Tripod Site Builder, powered by Trellix. It's going to be amazing. There will be more news as the launch date gets closer; I just wanted to whet your site-building appetites!
