2013.February.8

This week’s SCRoW was enlivened by a surprise birthday celebration for Danny. Jigsaw’s resident whiz-kid turned 19, so there were five candles on the cake, some lit, some dark, in the pattern on-off-off-on-on (19 in binary). Many happy returns, Danny!

Teardown Thursdays Report 2013-01-31
