Seeing the world through arbitrage-colored glasses

On the mailing list with a negative service level agreement, one of my colleagues posted the message

Free Nerf guns in my office. I’ve decided I’m no longer a collector.

Not one to miss the opportunity to cause some trouble, another colleague posted the message

Nerf guns for sale: $1 each. Get’em while they’re hot.

That earned a chuckle from me.

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.
