On Being a Splat (*)

I have been given the chance to play a more involved part in making it easier for you to do what you do here, whatever you choose for that to be. Let me or anyone else in edev know if you think E2 could be made easier to use in any way. I'll do my best to help. The great thing about coding is that solutions almost always involve people as well as code.

— They call coders like me "untrue gods". So, please, don't think too much of any magical powers I may have. I keep the wand in a safe, and I'm actively working on losing the key.

Greetings! Are you sporting a long, white beard, a bulbous bowl full of heart-attack-inducing jelly about your midsection, and a curious affection for red velvet? No? Then this might not be for you.

I'm notoriously bad about giving suggestions for holidays, which has resulted in an overflowing supply of cotton socks and Michael-Jordan-sponsored underwear. Let's see if I can rectify this.

The winters are cold, and I still like going out running and biking in the inclimate weather. Things that might assist with this such as thin-but-warm gloves (that I will somehow not misplace); hats, masks, and hoods that stay in place on their own (that I will somehow not misplace); wool socks (that the dryer will somehow not misplace); and other items of warmth would be heartily appreciated. If you could be so kind, I wear almost exclusively black.

In the less fabricy area, I am always on the look out for pirate regalia, as I celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day with a fair amount of vigor. I wear, uh, less black those days.

As a third option, I have long hair which I frequently tie back for eating or traveling purposes. Any interesting device with which to secure my mangy mane would be appreciated as well.

Hope these suggestions help. May you be touched by his noodly appendage during the coldest times of the year.
