VSYS Blog

In the deep dark secluded areas in Vsys HQ, Where no one dares to venture because terrible and great experiments are being done. This is where I have been spending my days and sometimes nights working on “Project Jaberwocky.”

Here are some photos of project Jaberwocky. More on this later.

33 Cups of coffee ago. I started working on a new GUI for our touch panels. Code name “New GUI.”
Armed with a white board and a arsenal of erasable markers I started to design the new interface that would later be named “Carbonite.” I started making sketches of how I wanted my D-pad to look. Post-it’s(can you even pluralize Post-its?) lined my desk and walls, full of notes and dimensions. At one point I realized one of my designs looked like Iron man’s arc reactor so I scrapped that idea. I came up with about 10 designs and shortly after finishing each I realized that I didn’t like any of them. So I grabbed another cup of coffee and continued sketching ideas. Everything started to fall in to place. i finally reached a point where i need to make an iPod interface. David started to make each piece come to life in photoshop, with me looking over his shoulder and complaining how that’s not the exact shade of blue I wanted. Well he put up with me and we started piecing together every page. We finished it and decided that it needed a name, Apparently “New GUI” wasn’t as creative as I thought it was. I picked the name Carbonite and we “voted” on what it should be called. It should be stated that by voted I mean that everyone Else’s opinions where not even considered. We have implemented our new gui at Energy plus‘ napa store. Please go check it out.
-Edit- 35 Cups of coffee now.

Things are really starting to come along on this project. More info coming soon. Bad photos taken by my iPhone.

Johnny went around leaving our URL just about everywhere.

Less than 1 inch thin!!!

These game headphones have 4 speakers in them, and you can adjust the volume levels of each speaker separately. They are amazing I was able to test them out while playing Call of Duty: World at War. I just placed an order for a pair of my own.

Immersion has an SDK that works with your games to send vibrations to your USB mouse to feel the effects in your games. This thing is awesome! Its like a Dual shock controller on roids.

We just landed in LA for our layover. People will be boarding soon so we can get going to Las Vegas. Johnny is sitting next to two ladies from cnet.
