pins

Miss my pinball machines. Had three of them: Gottlieb’s Charlie’s Angels, Sinbad, and Cleopatra. Two I sold back to the guy I bought them from. Another I sold to a coworker’s neighbor. This was back last year when I thought I was rolling off the project. The Charlie’s Angels machine I got for a shweet deal. Its ebay auction page had some bad HTML that wouldn’t let anyone bid on the machine. I saved a copy of the code on my desktop, fixed the HTML problem, and submitted my bid. Easiest auction I ever won. Normally I wait ’til the last 30 seconds of an auction and launch a surprise attack. I bet people hate me. I once got a concession email from some dude I was dueling it out with during the last 30 seconds. Ah… Technology.
