#OfficeEnvy: When you walk into the Nasuni office, you might think you’re in a natural history museum, construction sight or at a makeup counter. But the office’s eclectic style is a nod to its customers. 

CEO Paul Flanagan said Nasuni puts up signs of its customers — which includes Meredith magazines, Ulta, the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and the Kiewit Corporation (a construction engineering company) — to remind the company of who it serves.

Nasuni’s office space in Seaport will be expanding to two floors, and the company is opening its office Marlborough, Mass., this month. Flanagan said he is excited that Nasuni will have an office in the Downtown area and in the suburbs, as it will give some of its employees a better commute.

GoT Recap: Is it next Sunday yet? If you don’t watch “Game of Thrones,” you can move on and be spared from my excited rant. I could hardly contain my excitement and the premier made sure I occupied only the edge of the seat. But tell me, are you filling out a survival bracket? Do you need a primer? Or a laugh?

The News You Need

The fun, innovative, newsy stuff happening right around you.

Mass. marijuana industry is mostly corporate and white. Inside one Boston battle to change that

“Massachusetts was the first state in the nation to make social justice goals a cornerstone of marijuana legalization. But two years in, those equity provisions are giving way to old inequities, small players are being squeezed by the bigger national ones, and the question of which minority entrepreneur most deserves the neighborhood’s trust is proving to be hard to discern, a Spotlight Team review shows.”

Someone Flew a Drone over Fenway Park During a Red Sox Game
“It was a drone, flying low over the baseball park during the last few innings. Thankfully (for the players and the drone) it never came close to the field, but it made a few laps around the stadium and even threw in a few quick drops to give the crowd a little thrill.”

Endangered Whale Experiencing Mini Baby Boom Off New England
“The North Atlantic right whale is one of the rarest species of whale on the planet, numbering only about 411. But the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown, Massachusetts, said Friday its aerial survey team spotted two mom and calf pairs in Cape Cod Bay a day earlier. That brings the number seen in New England waters alone this year to three.”
