Microsoft spokesman Tom Pilla on Tuesday confirmed with iPod Observer that his company initiated the creation of the iPod packaging parody video that was first reported last month. "It was an internal-only video clip commissioned by our packaging [team] to humorously highlight the challenges we have faced RE: packaging and to educate marketers here about the pitfalls of packaging/branding," he said via e-mail.
It's been a couple of weeks since I have ridden to work. First I had a sore back, then the bike needed a service, and then it rained a lot. This was also my first ride with cleated pedals, which was very exciting. These two factors resulted in my slowest ride to work yet, but I didn't crash and am a little more confident with the cleats now, which has to be a good thing.
The missing figures are now online. I've updated the original posts which contained those images, so that people aren't confused about the ordering of the chapters and which version is the most current. Let me know if you notice any other problems.
Thanks to Jerry for pointing out that Chapter 2 and Chapter3 are missing some images online. I am looking into this at the moment, and will get back to you all when I have tracked them down. Thanks for pointing this out Jerry.
Ignore the terrible music, it's an interesting video...
A tribute video to the Tomcat, which will be retired from the US air force in September this year. Highlights include: footage of the first flight (December 21 1970), the first hydraulic failure (December 30, 1970), the first ejection (December 30 1970) and the first crash landing (December 30 1970). It seems December 30 was a bad day to be flying.
Despite Steven's promises of a return of the spicy fruit buns, they are completely absent here in the US. Apparently not all Christian nations do hot cross buns, which is a new surprise for me. This is an emergency however, as I love them, so I need someone to mail me some ASAP. Send them to: Michael Still America Thanks. Failing that, has anyone got an idiot proof recipe they want to share? My previous one was: Go to freezer Get bun out Nuke it for 15 seconds Shove in mouth The secret to this is to buy small buns so they fit in your mouth. I'm waiting by the mailbox now, so you better get with the mailing...
Arjen, I am now registered for the MySQL user's conference. See you there.
Well, I gave the presentation in Portland (and it seemed to go well). I've put a PDF version of the slide deck I used online if people are interested. More on the trip when I get around to writing it up.
