By the way, we here at The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century (we reserve the right to use the “Royal we” here) would like to wish all our readers a very happy and snug-fitting Saint Patrick’s Day!

Scenes from the Podcast
Ross was the sound engineer for the Tucows podcast (mentioned here), so he was able to shoot this photo with his phone:
That’s me on the left, and Alain Chesnais, VP of Product Development, on the right.
…and even managed to get some video as well [435K, MPEG-4 file].
Don’t forget that the “Ask Tucows” Chat — in which you can chat online with me and other people who work at Tucows — takes place next Thursday at 1:00 p.m. Eastern (10:00 a.m. Pacific, 18:00 UTC). A number of people within the company have signed up to join in the conversation, so it looks as though most departments within the company will be represented.
I’ll post details about the chat (including how to access the chat from your computer) next week.
Going to Disneyland is one thing; going to Disneyland with Cory Doctorow, Disneyland theme park aficionado, is something quite different. Cory’s encyclopedic knowledge of the work that goes into the design and implementation of Disneyland — imagineering, as they call it — gave me a chance to see Walt’s dream through new eyes and made it fun in a new way. I’ll post that story next week.
In the meantime, here are some grainy pictures that we took at the “Love Tester” while waiting for the Country Bear Jamboree to start. The machine gave us the same rating: “cuddly”. I thought we’d rate at least “teddy bear”.
“Are you sure this machine’s calibrated properly?”
“The ladies beg to differ!”
Over at Tucows Developer, I’ve posted a podcast interview with Alain Chesnais,
VP of Product Development, where we talk about his work background and
the Tucows platform. It’s the first in a regular series. Check it out!

Prison Wine Recipe
It’s going to be a busy day for me today, but I don’t want to leave you empty-handed. That’s why I’ve posted a recipe for Prison Wine [note: a little bad language, some worse spelling], a cheap and cheerful drink that you can make from the comfort of your own prison cell!
I’d like to dedicate this recipe to my friend Wil McLean, who has this morbid fascination with making contigency plans for the rather unlikely event that he ends up in prison. Word of advice, Wil: forget the plans — with your boyish good looks, I’d give it fifteen minutes max before the inmates churned your rump like butter. Better by far not to do the crime, cause you can’t do the time.
