Getting under Second Skin

So SPD is getting shown off at yet another show. I suppose it's comforting to know that, in these times of financial uncertainty at the company, that management still knows how to stick to what works. That is, if you define "works" to mean, "doesn't trigger immediate public scorn or lead to the creation of new enemies of the company".

What's interesting (for relatively lax definitions of the term) about this particular display is that, rather than placing SPD as a technological marvel, as with the Smart Garage and Juno exhibits, this one caters to the arts crowd.

Admittedly, I am less than an expert on what excites the people who will go to this
kind of a show, so I can't assert positively that this is a bust in the making, but to my layman's eye, the SPD exhibit is pretty bland relative to some of the really off-the-wall stuff being paraded around at this show. Follow this slideshow to see what I mean.

Still, if the person who decided to sink $2 million to give this company one more chance at life is happy with how his or her money is being spent, who am I to argue?
