There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

Q: What do you do at Massdrop? A: I work on identifying and spec'ing out features on the site for our community and also for our internal users. Q: What do you like most about working at Massdrop? A: I love the spirit here of taking on new challenges and achieving them. The company is still relatively young and there's a lot of room to grow. I enjoy seeing the progress the company has made through careful planning, trial and error (or even stumbling onto something serendipitously at times). The growth and progress we've achieved are due to the hard efforts of everyone here pulling together and learning together. Q: How did you get into knitting? A: My mother taught me how to knit. She had a set of colorful interchangeable metal knitting needles, which seemed like a magical chemistry set - wondrous and intimidating. One summer, my mother, aunt, sister and I knit squares and made an afghan blanket. I knit very simple squares, but my mom and aunt did more intricate cables, lace and popcorn patterns. I thought it was so complicated! Years later, I started knitting on my own and unraveled the mystery of these patterns - it's creative and meditative at the same time. And it's a great feeling to wear, use or gift the projects you make knowing you've invested your own sweat equity. Q: What are some of your favorite products in that community? A: Notions and bags! For me, there's no such thing as having too many notions for being prepared for a project. And there's no such thing as being too organized by having bags for your notions and tools! (Never want to lose track of your favorite crochet hook for picking up stitches, right?!?!?) Q: What are some of your other hobbies/interests? A: Dogs. Running. Mindless watching of bad tv show reruns.
