Woohoo! It's early October, and that means it's TURKEY TIME for us Canadians! We know, Americans have their Thanksgiving in November, but it's so cold here already that it might as well be November. So to celebrate we're releasing the following items: Make: The Fourth Year Collector's Box Set Breadboard Jumper Wire Bundle LilyPad Slide […]
Office Reorganization Extravanganza!
Dave Hrynkiw
July 10, 2009
Usually I'd take the opportunity of the weekly newspost to show you something that would shake the very foundations of your soul. Y'know, by showing you the latest and greatest toys or by announcing sales and/or specials. But instead, I will show you what we've been toiling away on over the past week. You know how we mentioned we were doing a bit of reorganization around the office? Well, to the side you'll see an image of a fruit of our labour. (On a side note, please forgive me, the photographer, for the horrible horrible picture. I can only shoot tiny things on white backgrounds, and even that skill can be questionable).
So here you see an isle of our massive, massive warehouse where we keep all the product for both HVW and Solarbotics. See all those wonderful grey shelves? Here's a secret - they're not so wonderful. It took many many hours of awkwardly bent arms and dropped bolts and uttered curses to complete these over-glorified holders of product. And this is just a tiny corner of our space, for several days in a row we had all sorts of meyham unravelling in every imaginable space.
Next week we'll have something more exciting and substantial for you. And if we don't... Expect another shoddy last-minute photograph as filler content. Have a great weekend everyone!
