Article of clothing or tasty dessert?

Balaclava or baklava?

I always get the two confused, and I have to stop and think. “Why were the bank robbers covered in a tasty dessert?” “Who wants to eat a hooded knit cap?”

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.
