Last week we received a couple visitors in our NYC office.  A boy
around age 12 and, what I assumed was his father.  They had come to
take us up on our standing offer to drop by the office and say hello.
As it turns out, the boy, named Gavin, had read about BUG in the latest
issue of Popular Science.   Though reserved at first, his shyness
disappeared once he got his hands on the hardware.  He smiled and
laughed and asked questions.  He confessed to wanting one.

There are picture perfect moments that become instantly emblazoned in
your memory.  This was one.  And, for me, it was a great way to end
what has been a terrific, eventful and demanding year.   To have all
our efforts result in a visit and a smile from a boy who took it upon
himself to look us up simply made me feel great.   Maybe because I saw
some of myself in him – a kid who wants to have fun with technology.
If we can inspire that feeling in everyone who uses BUG I don’t think I
could ask for more. 

Here’s to 2008!  Happy New Year everyone.
