I'm flattered some people remembered me by name.
I will be going to the office Stampede thing this year due to persistence badgering by one of my coworkers. It's next Thursday. Will the resulting collision between matter and antimatter end all existence? Stay tuned...
Othwerwise, I'll be holed up avoiding things as usual. But I will be venting on another forum this year, so this should be the last you hear from me.
Those of you who enjoy this event, have fun.
