Woah.

So, umm, do other old timers get generous presents like these? Smiley

My name has 9 letters. Coincidence? I think not...

Damn nice. Some people have all the luck. Smiley

I am genuinely curious to discover what you did to prompt this much generosity.

Geez, you take charles out drinking every time he's over and what do you get? Stickers. Maybe I should have taken advantage of him when he was drunk?

the weird part is ...why now? (i could understand it back when" scoble goes to google" was generating a million hits for c9...

...but i guess if you factor 45 cartoons, 10 videos, 30 themes, 20 tshirts over 5 years... im keeping it! Tongue Out

That's uber cool, but well deserved. I reckon you've done more free consulting for MS whilst on C9 than you can possibly imagine!!!

Enjoy!

It is the least we could do after all the years of your participation in the community and for all the art you've created around Channel 9.

People mistakenly seem to think that the stuff Jamie does takes him a few minutes, but he is talented - a euphemism for fastidious about design, hence time consuming - and certainly does make resplendent contribution.

I would feel beyond proud about getting Ozzie to wear "The Ozzman Cometh", but that, the happy birthday theme, and his constant issues with computers are a joy to be involved in most times. I am 'totally' green with envy, but you (as they say nowadays) 'totally' deserved it.

Thank you Channel9 for making this happen.
