CodeProject | Daily News - The collapse of the internet and other things to look forward to in 2014

From the mind of me

I have good news and bad news. Or maybe it's just good news and good news. Or bad... wait, let me start again.

On behalf of Bob, Shane, and myself, I'd like to wish everyone a happy calendar changing event! Hopefully it will be a happy and safe event. There won't be a newsletter tomorrow, as we'll likely still be off drinking. In moderation, of course.

Oh, and for those not on the Gregorian calendar, feel free to ignore this. Except the part about how there won't be a newsletter tomorrow.

CodeProject | Daily News - 'Execudus' in Redmond: Top Microsoft execs get out

From Daily News Intergalactic Headquarters:

I deeply apologize for the editorial in yesterday's Daily News. I did not want to appear anti-Tolkien in any way. Although, the Arwen plot in the movie was a little strange. I couldn't get past, "Hey, that's Steven Tyler's daughter speaking Elvish". Also, three movies? Really Mr. Jackson? Finally, what's the deal with Tom Bombadil?

Back to the apology: I did not mean to restrict Shane in any way, I just did not think a Gollum quote was appropriate in today's geopolitical climate.

Also, if anyone from New Line Cinema, Wingnut Films, or Weta Workshop are reading this, we're certainly interested in helping out anyway we can. We understand that the latest release, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" is opening worldwide this Friday (currently at 74% on Rotten Tomatoes - certified fresh!)
