New addition to SB Krew, secret fun stuf...

July 17, 2009
Well, last week I told you that I'd have (and I quote) "something more exciting and substantial for you." So I'd like to take this opportunity (on behalf of the other fine folks at Solarbotics) to welcome the newest addition to the team, Tom!

But that's okay - you can definitely tell it's going to be fantastically wondrous by the ultra-exciting words 'classified' and 'secret' (not to mention the fact that they're even italicized). But you want something a tad bit more... Tangible, eh? Well, here you go. It's an itty-bitty cropped image with no context or specific information, and we dare you to unravel our plans for wold domination from this one bit of bendy metal.
