The Raspberry Pi Foundation produced 1000 of these to celebrate the first year of production of the Raspberry Pi.
RS ran a competition on Twitter, the winning prize being a Blue Pi. To enter the competition, all you had to do was Tweet @RSElectronics with the hashtag #bluepi and a description of what you'd do with a blue Pi. Here was my entry:
So easy to enter, I didn't even have to enclose a stamped, addressed envelope*. I only went and won! I was chuffed to bits.
The observant Geek dad blog fan will observe that I've already made a Scratch controlled Raspberry Pi disco. The reality is that, following the mantra that "a pessimist is never disappointed", I didn't think I'd be lucky enough to win a blue Pi. Hence I want out and bought another Pi to use, (my first Pi being busy running my environment monitor). But I did!!
