Martha, Martha, Martha!

Martha Stewart was in town this past weekend signing her book on baking. Although I’m a Martha fan, I didn’t attend the signing because I already have a really awesome book on baking. I’ve listed below some of the ground rules for the book signing, mixed in with some stuff I just plain made up. Your mission is to pick out which of these rules are for real and which are fake.

  1. Martha Stewart will sign only the baking book. No other books or memorabilia.
  2. Do not make eye contact with Martha Stewart.
  3. Do not speak to Martha Stewart unless spoken to.
  4. Do not ask Martha to write anything other than her name.
  5. Do not take pictures of Martha Stewart.
  6. If Martha Stewart becomes angry, curl up into a ball and cover your head with your hands.

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.
