Which part of california? I thought it was always sunny there ;)

San Jose. Yes, actually it is sunny there all the time. Sunny enough to burn your skin in 15 minutes, year round. Hooray for that. I find myself not missing that (yet).

Pelting natives with penguins? How about the weather right now? ;) And have some cold beer!

Hmm, though culturally I should be a cold fizzy lager swiller, I tend to like nice pints of bitter served at about 55/60 degrees.

My company ordered about 450 1u servers from a company called "Penguin Computing". Each one had a little 4" plush penguin doll in it. At one point, we put at least 400 of them in a large cardboard box and tipped them onto the head of a microsoft partisan in the office. Photos exist, but I can't find mine now!
