We had extended family over for a visit, and we decided to take everybody to the public swimming pool. While waiting in line, the kids (ages 4 through 7) somehow got onto the topic of lifeguards.
Six-year-old: “I hate lifeguards. Whenever you do something fun, they tell you to stop.”
Four-year-old: “I hate lifeguards, too. They made me stop hopping. But I didn’t fall down! When I grow up, I want to be a lifeguard, so I can yell at people.”
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.
