Perhaps I can bring clarity to this question - or at least make up something clever!?!

I am the designer responsible for the entire look of the channel 9 site and more to topic, the now famous "Channel 9 guy". The idea/direction for the site came from my interest in exploring "pixel design" techniques. At the time, my creative mind was heavily into creating Longhorn demos which equates to over polished, application UI design. The concept for Channel 9 was to not have it tied visually to anything Microsoft.

Lenn had an initial idea for a character that I took and massaged into what it is today. Seeing the life that this Channel 9 guy has made for himself makes me proud while at the same time a little freaked out by its success. Some of you guys really are geeks (and, I mean that in a good way Smiley

Keep taking C9 guy on vacations and submitting photos!!

I was just in Scobles office and saw another huge box full of C9 guys waiting to get out into the field. If you haven't already, send in a post card. If you are still waiting - it is on the way!
