Ciao guys! Alessandro G. here from Milan, Italy. I'm an engineering student and a huge technology enthusiast, both by passion and necessity. I know very little about programming, as my field (space, basically) requires such a proficiency in it that such tasks are usually restricted to computer engineers. This said, I happen to know quite a lot about materials in general, their characteristics and how to shape them. I also have quite a good background in 3D CAD, something I like doing even outside my field of study. Some might remember me from Kickstarter as the guy making the difficult technical questions. It's my nature, I can't help it! I'm currently quite busy with several exams I'm taking in February, but I've had quite a few ideas about possible modules and shells in the last few months, ideas that I'll make sure to share and discuss as soon as I get the chance to recollect them all! See you on the forum everyone!

Hello everyone

I'm Peter Jak,

I study ICT and I live in the Netherlands. I love technology and call myself a "Techy" often.
Some of you might already know me trough the Kickstarter comment section where I hang out, answer questions or of course, ask them. I am quite good in supporting, writing understandable instructions for troubleshooting.
My hobbies are: Hanging out, reading the latest tech news and I like to play a few games, when there is a deep plot.
Furthermore I am a Android enthusiast who currently uses an old Iphone 4, because my android device broke. Although I'm saving up money for a new Android device.
I look forward seeing this community grow while I keep growing with it!

See ya around pals!

When you ran into a problem, don't give up.
Most of the time a nice workaround will help you further.

What's up guys?

I'm excited to be on the ground floor of this new community..!

I am a UI/UX developer from Houston, Texas. My main focus is web based applications, but I have developed a few apps for the android market as well. I love new technology and have been collecting watches for the past few years, so BLOCKS is right up my alley! I also plan to make some BLOCKS specific apps once the device is released, so, if you have an idea, I'd love to hear it..!

Outside of code, I am an avid footbag enthusiast, aspiring juggler, amateur unicyclist, slackliner, & netflix addict.

I will see you all around the forum..

So good to see so many blockers with an IT background! As soon as this community gets really crowded, I'm sure we'll have a lot of great discussions in the developer section. Welcome everyone!

Hi, everyone!

I'm looking forward to seeing the ideas everyone comes up with for BLOCKS modules!

I am an orthopedic surgeon with an interest in fitness. This will be my first smartwatch, although I have used a couple of different fitness trackers and GPS watches in the past. Other interests include music (listening and playing) and reading a variety of genres, when I have a few spare minutes. I am not a tech novice, but am far from a guru...

Hi Folks,

I'm a software developer primarily focused on the Internet Of Things (IoT) industry, with a background in web development. Looking forward to getting a hold of the Blocks watch and seeing about integrating our SDK with it to see how we can integrate it with our platform as well. Plus it'll be my first smart watch and I've been itching to get one for quite some time now.

Chief Edward here, many of the folks hereabouts will recognize me by the moniker Edhead. I was the guy who lent the power of math toward the end of the campaign, by giving daily estimates on how much we would need to reach certain stretch goals.

I don't work in tech, but have a little more knowledge than most folk as I was in the not so distant past a certified computer technician. I'm a tech nut whose been looking for a good smartwatch. I'm hoping Blocks fits that description.
