A few shots to make you jealous of our recent trip to Red Fish Lake and to explain all of our out of office replies from last week.

After a day hard at work at our computers we decided we might need to stay a bit late to finish the day well with a speed car race. It was a tight race but after several crashes, false starts, and a few moments of boozing the track Wes took the gold. First place was awarded the big bucks, a VISA gift card of $100. Wes has yet to comment on how he will spend the money.

So, yes this is a little self serving because we want our free job post, but we must say it is awesome that we have a part of the Egotist Network in our own town. We followed Denver for a long time as they became a significant force in blogging and influence in the advertising industry, and now we have our very own right here in Salt Lake. Just want to give you guys a big thumbs up and express our love for both the free PR and the download on the latest happenings. Rock on Bro's.
This is a video showing the build of the Welikesmall iPod wall. It was made from 20 iPods over the course of about three weeks in our spare time. Tasks included building and designing the wooden box, programming an iPhone application that runs off the Game Kit framework, hacking a USB hardware fan together, developing a Python / Django web server application, and designing a quick UI. To keep the wall constantly powered we used a Cambrionix B2 USB powered hub.
Our current iPhone Application allows for 4 different modes, a screen saver mode, a full image split mode (the controlling iPod looks for an image and then the server executes a script to split that image among all 20 iPods), a single image grid mode (the controlling iPod tells the server to give a random image to each iPhone), and a hybrid mode which displays all three. In addition, the server is always checking to ensure that each iPod is synched.
Future releases will allow all sorts of external user interaction. Stay tuned.
