I found myself in the time lapse!

I was trying to get into the elevator to leave when spike walked in and he got in my way, causing a scene. too many tourists taking his picture. no wonder he gets sick of it.

It was cool, nice free t-shirt

Check out my panoramic pics.

Why has no one mentioned the drawing every hour for the MacBooks? Any TUAW visitors win one?

If you click on the time lapse, it will stop and you can step through the frames with the arrow keys. I'm going down there in an hour, and plan to stand in front of the camera for a minute like a big dork just to get my own screenshot.

At the 5:00 am slot, there is some guy holding up a sign asking a Ms Uschi Lang to marry him. Or maybe already a Mrs. Or maybe a Mr.
