Whoops, almost forgot to tell you what my spouse got me for my birthday …

PONG!

Yes, that is an animated PONG t-shirt. I should totally wear this to the JoCo show tomorrow night :)

The interesting thing about working at a 23 year old computer company is what you find when you get ready to relocate the office. I got designated as the “museum curator” during the move preparations, so I’m collecting classic elements of classic computing as we toss obsolete equipment.

I may have lost my mind at work. After repeated threats, meetings, shouting matches and meetings with company directors I have yet to acquire the elusive “schedule” … so I’m resorting to weird e-mails …

Well, Valentine’s Day is coming tomorrow. I like to think that you care for the sales & marketing department (in ways that are in accordance with our human resources guidelines).

I’m not a complicated man … I don’t like flowers or expensive wines … I don’t need cards or jewelry …

Tomorrow I’d love to see a completed 2008 development plan. It would be the thing to show that you care about my feelings and respect my needs as a technical marketing engineer :)

I’ll be amazed if this works. If it does, I may have to bring chocolates and tell the engineering department they look pretty. “No, those poorly implemented features don’t make your code look bloated …”
