We had our product release today, it was great! We had to ,if we wanted to, bring a item of clothing that represents one of our regional locations. Paris, Chicargo, Australia and England. So What I did was I raced down to Harrods with the thought that they'd might have American baseball gear - to my dismay, they didn't. I rushed to Oxford street and found a clothing outlet that featured the Chicago White Sox gear - which was perfect as my 2nd and 3rd choices( the Adidas store and Selfridges both closed). So picked this jacket up which actually i found pretty cool looking so wasn't to worried about buying it especially for the launch. Before i headed off to Harrods, I went passed a store that had a new York yankees cap(at this point I had no idea I'd find a chicago jacket) soI bought it with the provisio that I'd not get anything else that evening for the release tomorrow - and I'd have at least a america base ball team cap.

Anyway, so there you go and actually it turned out so good. They whole look was pretty authentic. At the office we had the big screen streaming a live office picture to anyone in the company to see what we were doing in London - later on we'd planned to have a global sign-on but until then we kept a live stream open.

But then things got cool - our CTO bought us a London Xbox and basically jumped around a second screen(see below) using the Kinect addon while the rest of the world just watched :-)

As the rest of the world came online, we got pictures of them showing various ways they were celebrating the release, the one above shows how the French organised croissants and a cup of coffee to represent the version of our release, 5.0 - i found this particularly cool.

Anyway It was a day to remember and I'm glad we all enjoyed it in a truly global way and had so much fun doing so.
