This past Thursday, the fine folks at POP threw me a 10 year anniversary surprise party at Black Bottle in Belltown, and I thought I was going to an ordinary after work get together. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I walked into the back room and got hit with a resounding "SURPRISE!"

Bill presented me with a framed version of the Usenet ad I had answered way back in 1996 along with a very generous gift. Aaron showed a film he'd made of my "life" (we were laughing so hard we were crying) and gave me a copy on DVD. The image above is from Joel's excellent DVD packaging. On top of all of that, I was given a membership to the Bacon Of The Month Club, thanks to a bunch of my best work buddies.

At the risk of sounding mushy, I am greatly appreciative to POP, and especially Bill, for the past ten years. POP has always been an amazing place to work and I am proud to have played a part in its growth and development.

POP is featured with an article/interview in the latest issue of Impress Web Design Magazine (Korea) for our work on the New Super Mario Bros. website!

Check out the head shots they selected for me and Brad (sorry Joel). Hilarious!
