Credit where credit is due: http://smithpixels.com/. Andrew and Adam have done a superb job for the last five years, and I really look forward to seeing their work every year.

That's me. Glad to know it was appreciated!

Yeah... For the first few years (before there was ice under the floor), I would always wear shorts and a T-shirt. This year, I was wearing pants, a long-sleeve shirt, and a sweatshirt, and still freezing. Maybe that's partly because I was running the webcast rather than frantically competing with a robot.
