Hey Everybody!

So we see this guy (Ernie) sneaking into our shipping department (that Robin runs)...

He's carrying a dozen long stems...

He pops the question....

Robin says "YES!"

I think this is the FIRST ENGAGEMENT TO HAPPEN @ PARALLAX!!!

CONGRATULATIONS ERNIE AND ROBIN!!!

    Congrats to Ernie and Robin!

    Way to start the weekend (and the rest of your life!).

    See the guy behind them? That's Derek. He keeps working even if there's an earthquake going on around him.

    I don't think I've ever seen a company as willing to share news to their customers as much as Parallax. - and I've worked in/with several who claim they are..

    2 x Congrats are in order -
    - To Robin and Ernie
    - to Parallax for fostering an environment where the forum is an appropriate place to let us know ('cause you know we will appreciate it)

    Congratulations Robin and Ernie!! :-)


    Ken said - "...That's Derek. He keeps working even if there's an earthquake going on around him.... " - That's only because if there were an earthquake he'd be surrounded by peanuts. How can you go wrong with that? :-)

    Congratulations to Robin and Ernie!
    Wow - and all this happened next to the Propeller starter kits...
    I kept telling Ken there was remarkable value to these Propellers
    and this absolutely proves it.

    The starter kit is very symbolic - starting out new life together..
    It just makes me wonder though, about another kind of symbolism, i.e.
    can we expect the appearance of some small propellers in the future?

    And I thought the Peanuts were his not-so-early warning system.

    working_hard
    if peanuts=none_falling
    ignore all else around you
    keep on working
    goto working_hard
    else
    RRRUUUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
    goto working_hard

    If I had any employees, I would be asking if this option was open source or not.......


    Congrats to Robin and Ernie, you work for a rare company. Have a great weekend/life!!!!
