Rampidbyter Rampid byter: A byte of my .Net developing life.

So recently a friend and I were going to lunch, we work together, and after leaving the building I notice the bosses Lotus sitting there with a custom plate. I remember thinking about how it’d be cool if I had a license plate that says “IM A PC.” I guess one man's opinion about what is considered cool can vary person to person. So, being myself, I just randomly say aloud that I’d like to get a license plate that says “IM A PC” to my colleague. The next thing I know he turns around with a spark in his eyes and says ‘that’s genius!’ Not sure whether he was in fact joking at my expense until we got to the car, and he was still carrying on about it. The more I thought about it the more I wanted the plate and we agreed to check after lunch.

So we get back to the office and check the custom plates office. ‘I AM A PC’ was available and that’s when my friend said if I wasn’t going to order it he would. So I owed him some tithe for a few things he’s done to help my life out from in-the-door tech job to my current position. So i said sure go ahead, and at the same time I had another thought. “IM A PC 2” so I could state that I am in fact a PC too. So I checked, and what do you know it’s completely available.

At this point I had a dilemma I let my buddy register the main one or I register it. So I decided to let him have first dibs, he ordered, and now of course I have to order mine. I proudly sit here today with the new plates “IM A PC 2” and he has “I AM A PC.” Yesterday we parked the vehicles next to each other, and it was the funniest geekiest thing I’ve ever seen. I felt proud of my new plates, and we, to me, exemplify the true meaning of the Microsoft Ad Campaign “IM A PC.” We're going to get together soon for our official I'M A PC photo that we're going to submit to Microsoft. I'm totally going to wear my .Net shirt.
