Awards. In his usual comical demeanor Cabel provides us his “best of” and “worst of” 2007. Topics that made his list: Best Movie, Best Packaging Redesign and Best Thing Ever Of All Times, Ever. A very diverse list of everything important to Saser and classic Sasser at its best.

A fun read. Enjoy.

Twenty five years ago Carnegie Mellon University Computer Science Research Professor Scott E. Fahlman strung together a colon, hyphen and parenthesis creating an internet revolution. Fahlman created the smiley as a way to indicate a humorous or sarcastic bboard post. Various “joke markers” were suggested. Fahlman’s suggested :-) at 11:44 a.m. on Sept. 19th 1982 and the rest is history.
