A fine note I received from Google
Friday, November 9, 2007 
I had the distinct privilege to have worked with a superior mind, but he has since moved on to work at Google's HQ doing all kinds of advanced server programming and magical stuff that keeps Google's online services humming along.
A Carnegie Mellon graduate of Computer Science (far better than MIT), we got to work together on a few projects directly and it was a joy to have been able to do that and to get to know him, and ultimately to call him a good friend.
Hailing from Western PA (near Pittsburgh), he's a native who I directly relate to because I am from the same area. Anyway, I received this letter from him yesterday:
If you can't read it because of its size presented here, it says
We'll see if the Steelers Defense continues to play smash-mouth football... if so then I am a little more enthusiastic about our chances against Brady&Moss.
I'll be wearing my Steelers gig regardless of the guaranteed proximity of Patsy fans around me. Steeler Nation baby!
I'll look out for some black and gold tailgating collections in the parking lot. If you're going, lemme know and maybe we can share some barley sandwiches (ie. liquid lunch).

"I hope all is well in MA.Thanks so much for the letter and the ticket. Man, those tickets at Gillette sure aren't cheap. Then I looked at what Steelers tickets are going for at Heinz for the Browns game (wow, you can actually pay up to $5,800 for two tickets to that thing... and they start in the hundreds... of course this is leading up to the game, not sure what the normal prices for tickets are).
Please enjoy the Steelers crushing the Pats.
Best, Andrew Widdowson"
