It\u2019s not a nice even number like 20, but it\u2019s weird to think that people born on the day I started (full-time) at Microsoft, can now drink in the U.S. While I doubt I\u2019ll make it to 25, I doubted that I\u2019d make it to 20\u2026or 10, so this is definitely an area where I\u2019m bad at estimating.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the <a href=\"http:\/\/angryweasel.com\/ABTesting\/\">ABTesting Podcast<\/a> just hit episode #40. That\u2019s another milestone I never thought I\u2019d hit, but Brent and I keep finding things to talk about (or new ways to talk about the same things). We should hit the 50-episode milestone (by my already established as poor estimates) before the end of the calendar year.
