So as we mentioned last week, our contest to name our upcoming GVS Ardweeny Backpack had come to a close. We've had a chance to sift through all the submissions, and the results are IN.

Solar botics
December 13, 2013
So today we have a nest. And some other things, like a programmer. If you take the programmer you can program the cleaning wire nest and the code will travel through all the little coils and come out the other end all transformed and golden too. It's almost like enlightenment. And then it will suitable to enlighten the red-green LED too.

According to some scientists, you can tell what a person is by analyzing crumbs content in their keyboard. You can tell a lot if they don’t have a keyboard at all, or have two. Now if you connect the programmer to your keyboard via USB cable you could probably reprogram your crumb content as well. Identity hacking at its finest!
Now the last but not the least, we have two things to announce. First, holiday hours. We are going to be closed... for not that long! Exactly these dates:
- Wednesday December 25
- Thursday December 26
- Friday December 27

So make sure you take these into consideration if you are looking to make some last minute purchases!
