So, in memory of a fallen former cow-orker, I'm featuring the Waxy.org links blog as one of our top picks this week (not like you need the recognition from me, or anything, but still).
Anyway, Bob (that being his name) really liked the original SW kid video, so I thought that posting a comment to this followup entry was kind of fitting.
Thanks -- Joe
