I'm watching the three Matrix movies back to back.

Very cool. Congratulations. That's some pretty tony company you're in. (And so are they, it should go without saying, since they're shoulder-to-shoulder with Rough Type.)

Congratulations! Well deserved.
As for the Matrix movies to celebrate - hmmm, personally I'd stop after Matrix II to avoid disappointment.

Well deserved. Keep up the good work.

Congrats on the recognition.
Locking horns appears to be seen as a plus but with your,or is it the blogs, "sharp mind," no sweat! Alan.

Maybe I'm less of a geek than I thought: I subscribe to exactly one of those blogs.
Congratulations, Nick.
