Just curious... am I the only one who believes the author of the IBM developerWorks newsletter is a real-life reincarnation of Ted, the generic guy? It looks like the developerWorks editorial team also works from the RTP area, so maybe I should ask Sam to provide Robin with some genuine wit for the newsletter's editorial intro. Being colleagues, that shouldn't be to hard. Lately, the editions of the dW newsletter were introduced by Robin with musings about:
Lacrosse
Cribbage
Vacuuming broccoli
Snow
The compost heap
Snow again
Door decoration
Stairways to Heaven
Cream and sugar
The office costume party
....
and various other strange topics for a technology newsletter. Sorry Robin, but are you on dope or what? ;-)
