Robot Army

Today the remaining of the VPS.NET robots that where made for webhostingcon and other conferences finally arrived, I got myself a few to put on my desk, need to set a few aside for friends abroad, like everaldo and nay, who want a robot of their own.

It’s so cool to see something one designed (I did the original sketch and Everaldo did the final polished design) come to life as a cute little conference giveaway ..

iPhone 4

I decided to get an iPhone 4 this morning (launch date for the UK), so I went to Carphone Warehouse in Canary Wharf to queue at 7 AM, the store normally opens at 9, but today they where going to open at 8.

I thought there would be maybe a couple of people there already, buy was I wrong, when I got there this is what I was faced with:

Yes, there was a line of over 40 people already, and within 30 minutes I had perhaps 50 more queuing behind me, they opened shortly after 8 but unfortunately the phones have to be sold with a contract, so each person was taking 15+ minutes to serve, and they where serving 5 people at a time and letting one person inside the store at a time (when somebody would leave), so while the store opened at 8, I did not got served until past 10 !!!

Even worse, they only had 56 iphones, I was number 40-something, and praying they stuck to 1 phone per client policy, when I got my phone, there where about 10 left, but the queue of 200+ people was still going strong… wishful thinking I guess

Either way, over 3 hours later of standing there, I finally got my phone, it’s a beauty, I am now waiting for the carrier to activate it

Worth the wait !

I was in the mood to design a new signature for Halloween, I was going to create something a bit darker/scarier but in the end I ended up with this, it’s not really Halloween but it’s dark, I like it

which way governor ?

Near the apartment where I live during the week (Canary Wharf, London), there is a “sculpture” of a bunch of traffic lights merged together on a roundabout.

The first time I saw it I was taken back, since it took me a while to realize it was not really working traffic lights, but a sculpture/decor piece.

Quite cool
