- I'm a PC, and I'm a Mac

What do you get when you cross 50 Mac Minis, a case of Monster energy drinks, and a bunch of programmers in the Geekworks basement? Check it out!
Fifty Mac Minis loaded with Windows XP Embedded and our digital signage app, written for Adobe AIR.

mWall? Monster really should be paying US, not the other way around.
Prepping the boxes many-at-a-time. Is this a fire hazard? Also notice the Monster energy drinks used for fuel.
Each one is labeled with an address...
... that corresponds to one of these Christmas-colored dots in Fresno.
The digital signage app is written in ActionScript, on Adobe AIR. I mostly worked on the data aggregation in PHP (news, sports scores, stock prices, and weather) which is fed to each player as XML.
Even though the hardware's Mac minis, we use Windows XP Embedded, so they're both Macs and PCs. (nevermind that Macs are PCs to begin with...)
