About

     If you’ve stumbled upon this site by accident (or even on purpose), you may be asking yourself why in the world people are posing with this action figure and blogging about it.  The answer is quite simple really, the Albino Bowler is Claris Networks’ “Flat Stanley”.  Obviously there is a back story…      Claris employee Greg Kenny was helping a friend move when they stumbled upon the Albino Bowler in his attic.  It had been a white elephant gift won at a company Christmas party; Greg managed to score it as payment for helping with the move.  It turns out the Albino Bowler is a bit of an urban legend, you can read the entire story here, but the gist is that this mysterious man randomly shows up at bowling alleys and bowls an incredible game… and then leaves without saying a word to anyone.  Just like you never know where the “real” Albino Bowler is going to show up… you never know where the Claris Networks’ Albino Bowler is going to show up either (unless of course you check the calendar)!

     Claris Networks employees are encouraged to sign up and take part in the fun!  Our goal is get pictures of the Albino Bowler in as many different places and events around the world as possible.  In doing so, we hope to show off “the human side” of our employees by putting on display their personalities and the places they like to go.  Check out the ‘Rules’ page to see the rules and regulations, and then keep an eye on the blog to see where in the world the Albino Bowler ends up next!
