This morning was just an other good morning in CommodoreWorld. Immo and Nick are in Berlin installing and prepping some stuff at the booth. The idea is that we also will install some IP cams so that we can broadcast live from the booth to Channel64.[update Sept 1st: uplink is to slow on the booth, so no IP cams]
The other good news is that Pocket-Lint posted a new article about our Gravel in Pocket and how we beat Microsoft with that device.
Than the morning wasn’t still good enough cos i found on my desk a perfect package of the Gravel in Pocket. Oh baby things are getting so beautiful!
And just as lunch was about to start I saw the new commercial on my laptop!

DJ Juice still faces some real China censorship as he cannot use the blogging service. But almost realtime from China his post ….

Lots of boxes everywhere here in China. lunch boxes for only USD 1.00, office boxes too small to have your laptop on, living boxes too small to live in, Happy Meal boxes, this clown is everywhere. An interesting box you will come across the next period, our MediaBox. Small box with lots of nice things in it. Nothing to do with the dogs they are eating here or the pork meat you literally find everywhere. We will provide you with a nice menu, ala carte menu on tv!
DJJuice and Sperwin are in China checking the final boards, colors, buttons, mock-ups etc We have regular contact over Live Messenger/Webcam and it seems like they are enjoying their stay. Rumor is that there is no coffee in their office so we are very curious how long the good spirit will last.
Sometimes you/me forget that China is still a communist country … our blog and the service we and lots of other bloggers are using is banned from China, so DJJuice and Sperwin cannot post to this blog or follow our steps on Channel64.
Chinese trick: DJJuice made this little clip with his phone and sent it through e-mail …
