TeamSPS Cyberweek 2024
2025-02-25
Cyberweek t-shirts have been a tradition for TeamSPS for more than a decade. In recent years we've also extended the tradition to challenge coins and POAP tokens. The design for these memorabilia is always done after Cyberweek so that we can pull in "the story" of each year. 2024 was the year of scale and resiliency driving super fast performance! This year's incredible execution of the Scale & Resiliency efforts resulted in huge improvements in our systems. Some of our core services operated 6 times faster than they did in previous years. This resulted in an incredibly robust Cyberweek, as well as an efficient one. Last year's 800 servers was this year's fleet of 200 that were not saturated. The design this year reflects this theme of "Getting Fit" harking to a gym theme. The shirt shows a robot, representing the SPS platform, lifting a massive weight. The plates are "100k Parcel" plates, represented by this token and the challenge coins. The robot is not massive but is instead svelte and agile. Lifting with ease this incredible load. All designs by the incredible Meghan McDermott.
This POAP is my gift to friends and family celebrating my 53rd Birthday. This token is directly distributed via claim code to each recipient. The design was created with AI and features a winter scene with a wood fired sauna and outdoor spa!

Weekly Thing Seven Year Anniversary
2024-05-24
This is a special token to commemorate the Seven Year Anniversary of the Weekly Thing by Jamie Thingelstad, established in 2017. This token is for subscribers of the Weekly Thing as of May 13th, 2024 and was distributed directly via claim codes in Weekly Thing 288. The art for this POAP was created by Daniel Sheldon (danielsheldon.eth) who I discovered via NiftyInk. Daniel found inspiration in the content of the Weekly Thing including travel, art, crypto, markets, theater, and tech. There is a peeled lemon as a memento mori, a reminder of impermanence. The quill represents knowledge and the sharing thereof. The layers that make up the background are made of photos of major tech hub cities like Tokyo and New York with filters and effects and an overlay in the shape of The Son of Man by Magritte, which was meant to be a silhouette and more about outward looking but also self-reflection. The Treachery of Images on the table (this is not a pipe) also by Magritte which is about NFTs and crypto, things not being what you think they are but also being so much more because of the power of ideas. https://weekly.thingelstad.com https://www.thingelstad.com https://danielsheldon.co.za https://nifty.ink/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Son_of_Man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/René_Magritte Five Year POAP: https://collectors.poap.xyz/drop/44270 Six Year POAP: https://collectors.poap.xyz/drop/126001

Cyber Week 2023
2024-04-12
Cyber week t-shirts have been a tradition for TeamSPS for more than a decade. In recent years we've also extended the tradition to challenge coins and POAP tokens. The design for these memorabilia is always done after cyber week has come to an end so that we can pull in "the story" of each year. 2023 was the year of massive scale! "Set Max Scale 800" was the call to action and a cartoon theme with multiple frames was the concept. Starting with an overloaded small town filled with orange infrastructure the scaling call is initiated and digital clouds start to "rain" capacity that scales everything up. The final frame shows the Max Scale with everything in a nice cool blue. Towers built with the cloud infrastructure displaying the monikers of some of our key infrastructure. Skyways connect the towers to show the interdependencies between different systems. The parcel count for cyber week is indicated on the tallest building. SPS Tower is in the mix with a "Rocket to 1" on top! Design by Meghan McDermott.
