I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.” ~ Anonymous
Olibot entered my lifeafter moving to Spain in 2006. I had spent the years before that working in design consulting firms with serious and important clients in San Francisco and London. Feeling the call of my European half, I threw caution to the winds, left San Francisco and moved to Barcelona, leaving the center of the tech world. To make matters even worse, I started to doodle.
One day, looking out at the Mediterranean sea and sipping an espresso, Olibot made his appearance. He showed up very similarly to how he did in the year 2094 on the planet Ololium... uninvited and refusing to be ignored. After having asked him to leave for several years without much success, I decided a better tactic might to humor him and give him some attention.
I am, of course, just hoping that if I do, in the end, he'll get bored and go bother somebody else.
