Pomodoros in the Wild

Earlier today I ran into a huge fan of my Pomodoro Timer while wandering around at CodeMash. Patrick Wilson Welsh is an Agile Software Development coach and a speaker here at the conference. He’s also a practitioner of Yin Yoga, a form of yoga that stretches tendons and connective tissue rather than muscle. And, my pomodoro timer is his timing tool of choice!

Here’s a pic of him demonstrating some of his stretches with me (timed with the app, of course).

Like a beaming teacher as his student surpasses his own skill, I love seeing people use my software for unintended, useful purposes. Patrick loves the mechanical feel, the ticking, the ding, the user interface…it gets his mind in the right mood.

Hmm. I may be missing a market here…
