I was in Redmond last week with Ken And Steve to attend Microsoft’s DriverDeveloper Conference (DDC). When registering on the first day, we all received these small laptop bags. At some point I was just toying around with mine and my eye caught onto the handle of the zipper:

It had my name on it and it was even spelled with the Danish o-with-a-slash (ø) character (see picture below).

My first thought was that Microsoft certainly went all out to impress their conference attendees by individually customizing each bag, but it quickly turned out that both Ken and Steve had the same name on their bags. Little did I know that it was merely a coincidence (rather than a gesture) that the company, which made the bags, was simply named similarly to me.

It still made my day, though. What are the odds…
