Hey, everyone! I just made a cool new Pebble watch face, so I thought it could be fun to write a brief post about it.

This simple Pebble face shows my signature “Laptopman” avatar and the time. However, if you shake it, the face alternates between your laptop pal and his evil twin, so be careful! Anyway, you can check out the project on  GitHub   or get it from the  Rebble Store . Enjoy!
