Microsoft HAS a sense of humor!

Since adopting Windows Media Center, a Windows Mobile 5 phone, and now Origami devices, I have been getting some push-back from my hardcore geek friends about how someone with my strong Linux/Open Source history has "sold out" to Microsoft. In my interaction with them (see this interview) I have determined that there are actually quite interesting, bright people out in Redmond.

Here's some proof that they have a sense of humor, too:
Do a Google Image Search. Look for Uncle Fester:
On page 2 of the search results, you will find this:
The link brings you directly to Mr. Ballmer's profile page on Microsoft.
Is this the result of "Google Whacking?" No! It's actually in their source code!
So stop giving me a hard time about my closeness to Microsoft as of late. I've seen those videos of Mr. Ballmer jumping around and yelling on stage at conventions and let me tell you: Those conventions are HARD WORK. For him to have that kind of energy and excitement in his product line and express it so energetically shows that he is worthy of respect. For him to have a sense of humor which allows code like that to stay on the Microsoft corporate page and not fire who is responsible shows character.

Steve Ballmer, I praise you!

p.s. this information was not given to me from some inside Microsoft jokester. It was actually an accident found by a co-worker who was comparing ME to Uncle Fester for my tendency to wear black clothing and former habit of shaving my head, as seen here:
