Hangin’ out at MacWorld

Star Wars mimobots

I went to MacWorld up in San Francisco yesterday for my day job; it’s not quite the madhouse that San Diego is, but then again, what is? It was fun to see all the cool new Mac-related stuff up close and in person, though … those MacBook Air laptops are much cooler in person.

Anyway, even in the sea of Mac aficionados, I still managed to find some comic/pop culture stuff:

Punks artist Kody Chamberlain, I understand, was on hand giving demos of the Axiotron Modbook at the Axiotron booth. I dropped by twice but missed his presentations.

Mimoco was on hand selling their mimobot designer flash drives. The line includes several licensed properties, like Halo, Happy Tree Friends and Star Wars (pictured above). The Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker helmets are removable, BTW, and reveal their heads (and the USB plug) when you take off the helmets. I chatted with the guy at their booth for a little bit; he said they’re all comics fans and would love to do something comic-related in the future.

    Awwww… Sorry I missed you at MacWorld.

    I had a blast doing art demos (did three yesterday) and the Modbook is amazing! Wish I could have stayed longer, but deadlines are looming.
