Mind of a Manion, Part Dos

I've decided to take a break from my usual tasks to share with you a few things that have been on my mind of late:

• Penetrode has finally settled on another writer. She starts in late December. I'm pleased, because now I have someone to blame things on. It was harder (but not impossible) when I had to blame everything on QA.
• You're not really rocking your car stereo until the side mirrors start to vibrate with the bass line.
• It's looking like I'll be sent to Japan for a week or two in January. Somebody got the bright idea that since I wrote the book on configuring Penetrode Enterprise that I should go actually perform one. I'm looking forward to it. For what would be a more natural environment for an office ninja than downtown Tokyo...
• The Penetrode Holiday Party is coming up. It's going to be held on-site. That's kind of lame, unless they're passing the savings on to me in the form of a large check. In which case they're princes among men.
• The receptionist and I (having graduated from the same college, though many years apart) plan on introducing beer die (the most complicated drinking game in the world) to the company during the holiday party. Look for me to be fired for a massively inappropriate display of pantslessness before they can ship me to Japan.

So that's most of what's on my mind these days. The rest is just porn and filler. Happy Ho-days!
