Congrats!

I would guess that he does not kiteboard............... pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Tue May 22, 12 7:27 pm     Does Spike work for SpaceX?

That's awesome! Seriously - if that's where Spike works he needs to come back here and fill us in - SpaceX is the coolest thing going down right now, bar none. After figuring out how to kite the ditch, launching a giant rocket into orbit would be tiddlywinks....
