Northern Attack update

Monday, May 31st, 2010 | 5 comments

For all of you who have written in, Northern Attack is experiencing some technical difficulties. I’ve been in touch with James, NA’s administrator/creator, and he is aware of the problem and working on a solution.

(Northern Attack is a blog/discussion forum site for The Office, and one of the original inspirations behind OfficeTally.)

In the meantime, feel free to leave messages for James and your fellow NAers here!

Forbes interviews Michael Scott

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010 | 4 comments

Forbes.com talks to Michael Scott about how to run a successful office. An excerpt:

Forbes: What’s the secret to running a productive workplace?

Scott: The “decaf” in the kitchen is really just regular coffee. Oh, and I don’t broadcast this, but the paper we buy from the paper mills costs us less than we sell it to the customers for. Way less. It’s ridonculous.

Schrute Farms on TripAdvisor

From today’s New York Times:

In September 2007, [The Office] asked to use TripAdvisor, a travel Web site, in an episode in which Dwight turns his beet farm into a bed and breakfast… TripAdvisor set up a review page, thinking it would be good for a quick laugh or two… But Schrute Farms is still doing big business… Reruns and DVDs keep inspiring new visits to the site and there are now over 600 reviews…
