Today is the first birthday without my co-worker and comrade Ben Rasberry. It’s really a bummer that he didn’t live to see the local Stars win the Calder Cup or hang out with us in our new super-duper cafeteria. I bet he would’ve enjoyed making NPCs on the austinverse.com site too.
Reminiscing about all the joy he used to spread at Apple reminds me about how I need to get the lab memorial for Ben back on track. I know there’s certain edicts from on high about decorum but how we remember/dedicate our goal of customer satisfaction to fallen co-workers is something worth keeping.
I also need to drop Ami a line, see how matters in Dallas are going for her and Alex. Maybe they’ll be visiting down in Austin in the near future.
