Square hosted its annual "hack week" last week. As with most such events, the idea was to give employees the chance to bang away on informal projects from Pebble watch hacks to an office noise meter. This year's hack week was also meant to showcase the ways employees from Square's San Francisco, New York, Atlanta and Tokyo offices could work together despite the physical distance. *Photo: Alex Washburn/Wired* [](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/about/#faq13)
