The day has started.

And it is glorious.

If you liked reading about Ted’s running adventures, you’ll probably enjoy reading about his snowboarding fiascos.

There are a lot of people taking this coming Monday off from work.

List of important people out of the office:
President
Financial Controller
VP of Customer Service
Head of Operations
Head of Domestic Purchasing
Head of International Purchasing
Head of Engineering

what does this mean? Brace yourselves now… on Monday December 31st I, Mike D, will be in charge.

The employees are thoroughly confused as to why management would ever let this happen. This morning as people read the e-mail I heard comments coming from corners of the office:

“Mike DiDonato? what?”
“Mike DiDonato’s in charge??!”
“look out. Mike D’s in charge.”

I think they recognize that this may be the most rocking (or disastrous) day in our company’s history.

First, I am going to throw a pizza party. Also, I’m going to try and make everyone wicked awesome t-shirts. I was even thinking of breaking out the Christmas lights and making a giant christmas lights mural on the wall.

I need even more ideas, send ‘em in. This could be a day of reckoning folks.

Woooooo!

Okay. We’re at the sunset of 2007. And soon, very soon, the 720 Posts onslaught will begin. Are you guys excited?

720 Posts came about from a conversation I had with Schenk. Old man Schenk was annoyed that my website didn’t constantly have new content. He challenged me to update the website every hour for a month. So that’s what 720 is all about.

Next Tuesday at 12:00am the first post will appear in the features section to the left. Each day will begin with a feature so that even if you start the day late you can catch up to what the heck is going on. the rest of the day will appear in either the main content area or the quickthoughts on the right.

I’ve automatically setup a bunch of posts and a bunch of people have helped me out (thanks people!). Some days are EPIC (January 16th) other days are totally lame (January 20th). And some days I have no idea what will happen because no planning has been done (January 23). I’m not even sure if I’ll be successful with this endeavor because I’m going to be writing additional content as the month progresses. If you have stuff you’d like me to post, e-mail it over to 720posts AT gmail D0T com. I’m sure I’ll get pretty desperate, so pretty much anything you send there will probably go up at some point or another.

After January’s insanity, posting will continue as normal come February.

Every year I carve my mom a wooden Santa for Christmas. You may remember last year’s “climbing santa“. This year I decided to go a bit extra multimedia. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas EVerybody!!

I’ve taken a couple days off.

Posting will be back up in business next week. And then January? well… whew. It’s going to be intense.
