Last day at UBC, flying off to San Francisco

I'm late doing this, but last Friday July 11th was my last day at UBC. And what did my wonderful coworkers do for me? They got me a going-away present:

I had to show the new pony the picture of the pony I put up in my office:

And c/o Steve MacDonald, Serious pony is serious:

From the WayBac Machine comes the last time I celebrated ponies with such gusto:

That was a going-away present (seems to be a pattern...) from coworkers when I left to start at UBC -- nine days after my oldest son was born. I was at UBC for eight years and one day, and had worked for CHiBi for just about six years.

Today I fly off to San Francisco to start work for OpenDNS; I'll be there 'til Friday getting trained and oriented and I don't know what-all. My dad wants a hoodie, my kids want stickers, my wife wants beer and I want to see it all.
