Dustin Griess has resigned from his position as Application Developer II with Quality Bicycle Products. Words will never explain what QBP has done for me over the past 5-6 years, professionally and personally. I look forward to continuing our positive relationship.
My 5 month leave from QBP is about to end, so I took my boss [...]
We have a thing for SausageFest.com in IT. This was the prank message I receive when trying to log into our website during my leave lol very clever work Damian ;)
Dustin Griess has taken an extended Leave of Absence from Quality Bicycle Products. After 5+ years, this has been one of the most difficult decisions of my life, I fricken cried on my way home lol see you in November. I’ll be riding bikes.
So last Friday during the ASA event in Chicago someone called QBP claiming to be me… I was “in LA for a photoshoot, the airlines lost my bag, money, cell phone, and my grandmother died” so they wanted QBP to wire cash to some random name in LA through Western Union. SOMEHOW they got QBP [...]
After a long story, I substituted my standard QBP chair for a lazy boy… Talk about productivity! I’ve been able to sleep more than ever!
I believe this started as a prank in Adam’s cube when he was out of the office, which then moved into Damians cube when he was out of the office, which then moved into my cube when I was in the office. lol
Yes I buy my riding shoes at Target for $19.99. But when there is a sale and I can get good shoes “beloe” that price, you may or may not see a large order come through from Dustin Griess ;) I love my bright white trainers.
Or “Yes Dave, I am more of a douche than you are” ;)
You actually thought you could wear more collars than me last Friday…
You wish you worked for a company that uses shredded money for a table ;) I love this thing lol
BMX Plus printed a huge multi page story about our team on Mega Tour in NYC this past September. “No longer lost, Dustin Griess makes up for lost time with a manual to whip at yet another landmark street spot.” lol
QBP is more supportive to bringing your dog to work than your company will ever be… Benny lays where he wants, on the keyboard, mouse, in front of my monitor.. Speaking of monitor, 30″!! Benny, meet Sasquatch…
Gosh he loves the warehouse ;)
We recently started on a large new project at QBP, so large we don’t even know what it is. Or what to call it. Every morning outside of the IT windows, we see our owner Steve walking to work, slowly, strolling, through the woods. I whisper to the other developers, “Sasquatch”… This may or may [...]
Helped man the QBP BMX booth at Interbike this year.
QBPBMX on Props Mega Tour 8! Downtown NYC. Seriously the most fun of the whole trip… Weaving through traffic, blowing stop lights & stop signs with other local commuters, right in front of dozens of NYPD. It appeared as if they couldn’t care any less.
Why settle with boring carpet, when you can have exciting hardwood floors in your cube? QBP encourages cubical decoration. I bought 120sq ft of flooring & precisely cut it to fit perfectly when I brought it into my IT cube at QBP. My fake hardwood floor is complete with beautiful fake tree, and a very [...]
The Real Ben Hopland, where he belongs. Under my desk at QBP. Yes I made this doll you may or may not have seen deep into IT land at QBP. Ben, you know, the only reason I’m doing this is so that this will be the first thing that Google finds when your name is [...]
It’s crazy how quick trade shows come and go… This year I picked up Erik from Drive up at the airport on Friday afternoon. He wanted to see the 35W bridge collapse so we swung downtown on the way to QBP. This year we had one full row of all BMX vendors, including Eastern, Odyssey, [...]
At QBP we sell these little GoPro video cameras, so I decided to take our sample to the skatepark and have a good time with it… You can throw a 2GB SD card in it and record about an hour of audio/video. I was actually quite impressed with the quality, although some tricks get to [...]
Good lord I can’t wait for this thing! OMG you are jealous ;)
My point exactly.
Marketing’s excitement of the day.
Two years in a row now, I own QBP’s “dress up as a co-worker” Halloween contest. I am Ben Hopland. Some have said that I may even be a better Ben Hopland than Ben Hopland himself. Yes I walked into the contest with my head down staring at my broken hard drive in one hand, [...]
