It wasn't me! I didn't do it! You can't prove anything!

OK, so this post is off-topic, but it is too sweet to not blog about.

Our Vancouver office space is at the lovely WorkSpace in Gastown. Last Tuesday night there was a break-in, and the thugs stole some computers, including a public-use iMac that lived near the espresso bar.

That stolen iMac had the great FlickrBooth plugin installed and today someone posted a few interesting pics of themselves to the WorkSpace Flickr account. Nice tats dude!

40 minutes ago, one of the Flickr admins called WorkSpace owner Bill MacEwen with the IP address used to upload today's photos. I sure hope the cops nail this guy.

At the time of the heist, I was in Denver, at the EffectiveUI main office. Since it was international Talk-Like-A-Pirate day, I was required by law to dress up. Today I noticed that my fake tats and bloated face make me look similar to the person of interest.

I'm thankful I have a rock solid alibi.



Now go get him, boys!

Hi Deepa. Glad we can amuse! I just hope the cops nail this guy. Bill and the lads running WorkSpace are so nice; they don't deserve this kind of hassle. Have fun at MAX.

I know it was you. You can't fool me. I'd recognize that cheesy beard anywhere.
