What We’re Thankful For

Thanksgiving always makes us reflect on what has happened in the past year. 2011 has been a big year at Lookout, from product and international launches to parties conferences in Vegas. We’re proud to have the opportunity to protect over 12 million mobile devices around the world, and we’re so thankful to have great customers, a great team and lots of exciting challenges ahead.

I polled the company to see what my co-workers were thankful for. Funnily enough, everyone was thankful for our super charming Lookout turkey icon our designer whipped up. It seems that several people were also grateful to work with me, Rachel. But that might have been just one co-worker gaming the Google survey.

Here are a few of the (real) Thanksgiving thanks:

I’m thankful to be alive in a time where you can do what you love (building software), work with great people everyday, and change the world (millions of people are using Lookout). All at the same time. Such moments in history are infinitely rare. – Kevin, co-founder, CTO

I’m thankful for pumpkin pie, chicken potpie, pie charts, and Py-thon. – Thomson, data scientist

I’m thankful for Fage Greek yogurt to start the day at work. – Anbu, engineer {Ed. note: It’s true. We have an insanely good kitchen stocked by our awesome office manager, and we’re all grateful for that!}

I’m thankful for good health, because it’s hard to be happy when something hurts; and family and friends, who share and amplify your life with love and laughter. – Mika, program manager

I’m thankful for Bruce Springsteen. – Alex, business intelligence

I’m thankful for ClockworkMod, dex2jar, JRuby, and Stack Overflow. – David, security engineer

I’m thankful for friends, family and co-workers that I look forward to seeing everyday! ­– Rebecca, marketing

I’m thankful for my happy, healthy family, a great job and living in a beautiful area. ­– Jim, operations

From all of us at Lookout to all of you, our friends, family and customers, we hope you have a meaningful season of celebration and thanks… and mobile security!
