Who knew that Beethoven wrote ambient music? The people at NOTAM took Beethoven’s 9th Symphony and slowed it down so that the entire performance takes 24 hours. It’s actually quite nice to listen to.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
