Oh yeah, almost forgot: Dave, I remember you are the great glass blower. Very envious, as it's one of the crafts that I've always wanted to take time to learn. Really beautiful stuff.

I just want to state, for the record, three things:

1) I do not have a handlebar mustache. It's a goatee (or a Vandyck, to be anal about it). It's just that the bottom is graying a bit, so it doesn't show in the grainy video.

2) The old Japanese guy did not pin me with one arm. He used two. I think he was angry at me for bench pressing Eric off of me, because it wasn't the correct technique.

3) Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. :)

I wrestled Adam once in a judo class. He kept bench-pressing me, and then I would kick out his legs. We continued like that for awhile -- technique vs brawn. Finally, the old Japanese guy came over and pinned Adam with one arm. It was awesome.

But I'll bet a mad Adam would be fun to watch. I've never seen him really mad.

I think I’ve only met Adam once years ago, but he’s mighty intimidating with the handlebar moustache. He’s got that James Hetfield (Metallica) crazy look. Like he might kick your ass if you didn’t think the new APIs made sense. Actually, he did a really nice job of presenting the concepts, so he should be proud ValleyWag even chose to feature him. Congrats to Adam for even being mildly razz-worthy.

Oh yeah, my favorite comment from the ValleyWag page is the first one. “Haven’t I seen that mustache in a Ben Stiller movie?” HAHAHA
