Step 1: Buy a 1.55-ounce Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar from a convenience store, supermarket, or (if truly desperate) online.

Step 2: Print out this candy bar wrapper.

Step 3: Trim wrapper on registration marks and wrap around candy bar.

Step 4: Stay up late the night before you plan on watching the video by partying with Ryan North and teaching him how to play beer pong.

Step 5: Force yourself to wake up the next morning and watch the recorded video of my talk while trying desperately to stay awake. The candy bar might help.

Note: Although most steps are optional, they are essential if you want an accurate simulation.

Raymond Chen

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.
