About fricking time...
"Paul, now 89 and still performing, lends his name to a classic electric guitar model sold by Gibson USA since 1952. He was one of America's most famous guitarists in the early 1950s, but spent his free time experimenting with guitar construction and other aspects of sound engineering."

"Paul is also considered the father of multi-track recordings, which allow musicians to perform at different times and later merge the sounds to produce a single song."

I can't believe it has been 5 years that I've worked for my current company, but it has been. Who would have thought this whole "internet" thang would still be happening ;) Was it really 5 years ago that the world was supposed to come to a screeching halt because of Y2K bugs? I guess so. When I first started here, I was a bit intimidated by all the brain power. There is a phrase that I've heard some people use around the campus, "Drinking from the firehose of knowledge". Is that ever the truth as it relates to Microsoft and the computer industry. Everytime I start to get a big head, and start to think I know quite a bit about what I do, I simply remind myself there are programs in a default installation of Windows Server 2003 that I'm not even sure what they do. And that doesn't even include the stuff key under lock and key. Things like the new Windows Live Search. Sure , I have a high level understanding of how it really works, but could I write the entire thing myself? It would probably take another 5 years ;).

A lot can happen to a person over the course of 5 years ( like trying to NOT eat 5lbs of Crispy M&Ms ), and I find that I still get a kick out of working with some great, intelligent folks ( you all know who you are! ) and creating and improving web applications. It's be a long strange trip and I look forward to the rest of the ride...
