Got a questions about my office background in this weekend's presentation at #emacsconf... especially my license plate. t.ly/xKiVE
When a dear friend wanted a vanity plate in Utah, the state had just started to allowed 7 characters, so he thought HEATHEN would be locally humorous. The next day, our boss came in and said, "What's up with the license plate?"
My friend smiled, "Yeah, pretty good, huh?"
Our boss replied, "Not really. I mean, what does Heat Hen mean?"
When my friend passed away, his widow gave me that license plate, and that is why it belongs on my bookshelf of memories.
