Update: Foiled!

Omar returned from SXSW last Monday, and in his typical Sphinx-like way, gasped amusedly at his tin foiled-desk but said little else. What does this look say to you?

He quickly spotted an item on his desk that had not been there before. Click on the video below to see him unwrap his “present.”

Someone told Omar he wasn’t allowed to unwrap his desk for a week, and amazingly, he left it nearly all there for five days.
First thing yesterday morning though (Monday, March 27), he began his day by peeling the computer area of his workstation. He tried to be quiet but we all noticed it anyway. Erlina said it was like her cat rustling something slowly when it knew it wasn’t supposed to do it.
Rolling the peeled tin foil into a ball has become a major source of recreation for Devin. Here he is on a Tuesday computer programming break.

Soon, we’ll be able to make a disco ball out of it.













Well, the empty box wrapped in foil wasn’t much of a present but the foil-wrapped ding dongs hidden around desk Wednesday morning were pretty awesome.
