Bear's Log

Not sure exactly where I found the link, but I ran across an article pointing to the artwork of Andrew Bell and his “the CREATURES in my head” site the other day and was enjoying his unusual slant on things when I saw them:

Just as quickly as my hopes were raised at the chance of adding such a cool and lovable android mini to my shelf, multiple boots-to-the-head smushed them back down as I saw that his Series 01 of them had sold out! :(

Still considering myself lucky to have found his site, I decided to followed him on Twitter in case he posted of anything new arriving in his store. Days later he announced that he was going to do another manufacturing , but this time instead of putting them on the store all at once he would ration them out across multiple days. So instead of now me needing to have fast data-entry skillz I also needed to have good timing and fast data-entry skillz!

Well, technology to the rescue - after missing the first two offereings I quickly downloaded an addon for Firefox that monitors pages, set it to scan every 2 minutes and then waited. Wasn’t long till the buzzer went off and I was able to enter my order! Score!

So now, like every good geek/nerd I now have some Android love on my shelf :)
