Graduation

A UK style graduation with funny robes, hats and a proper ceremony!
Posing outside city hall, apparently not so easy to make everyone look normal at the same time.

Lecturers and staff were dressed in robes matching their degree.

Graduation production line, we each got about 5-10 seconds on stage, just enough time to walk across and nod to the dean. :)
The compulsory hat throw :)

San Francisco - Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz

On one of our last days in San Francisco, we headed out on a boat trip taking us under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz - an old military prison.

We all got sunburned (some more than others..), but it was well worth it and we got to hear a lot of good and less good jokes about SF along the way.

"You've been charged with being too serious" - seems to have had an effect ;p

MeeGo Conference 2011 - Angry Birds!

The conference started with a warm up session including Angry Birds with the attendees building catapults and structures. Some of the catapults did really well... while some failed at first launch.

We came in a bit late, so didn't participate, but it was still a very entertaining evening. :) 

Sitting there, waiting...

First launch! (I think)

Faulty bird turns around mid air. Regretting the decision?

Waving for peace?

How far does it stretch... (this was the winning catapult)

If Baywatch were made by pigs?

Piggie taking a dive!

Ouch.

Unbreakable?

Also fairly unbreakable.

This is what happens when you run out of wood, you have to go with rolls of paper instead.

And the piggies were no more...
