But instead, they decided to build the Great Wheel

I dreamed that Seattle was building its own version of the Eiffel Tower. Just like the original, except that it was also a thrill ride similar to Round Up but you are seated.

It turns out that the city of Seattle accepted my subconscious’s instructions to replicate another city’s famous landmark, but the message wasn’t received loud and clear. Instead of making an Eiffel Tower knock-off, we decided to make a London Eye knock-off.

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.
