There I was 9:50am having a nice nap and dreaming of render loops when the FedEx man rings the doorbell. Barking at people who walk in the street or dare to slam their car doors is high on the ZHounds list of fun things, so someone actually coming to their door and ringing their doorbell is the Olympic games of barking in our house. I sent the ZChick because she was expecting a package but it wasn't for her. Turns out it was my 'congratulations on being a DirectX MVP' package.

Sadly there was not a large check involved in the transaction, but I gather Steve Ballmer comes to yours house on your birthday to sing Developers, Developers, Developers. So thanks to those who nominated me.
