Dashboard Widget Proposal

Did the ring actually look like that?

Last night I proposed to Jenny using a Dashboard Widget. Fortunately she still said yes.

Jenny's blog about it.

indiejapanemo says:

Bjorn! Congratulations!

It's random -- but I visited TWU a few years back and hung out with the guys of lower 8 & 9. Still remember that trip in Stringer's van and camping out in that dude's backyard. And Lou with his BMW!

All the best to you both -- glad I stumbled across an old friend. I got married last year and I'm having a son in April -- best decision of my life.

- Mike

P.S. Thanks again to you for driving me to Vancouver. To this day I wish I went to school at TWU. Someday...

iBjorn says:

The push-pin is High Priority. It puts all your To-Dos from iCal in the drop down menu. I use it all the time.

Mike, I totally remember you. You wore an Appleseed Cast shirt.

I was hoping you would come back, since my roommate was going to leave, and we could be roommates. Congrats to you. Can't believe you are going to be a daddy.

Heh. Bet she won't be smiling so much when she realises the honeymoon is a thinly disguised tour of every Apple Store in America :)

Or maybe she will? And maybe that's why you're marrying her? And now I wish I was?
