Breaking (fake) News on CNN

[HoleshotHolset]

An editor at work today decided to have some fun with the CNN feed.....

SWEET!

Avid Technology is up 10 pts!

Couldn't they have done a spellcheck first? Wednseday? It just takes all the credibility out of the fake.

 

[HoleshotHolset]

What can I say... . the guy took ten minutes while he was rendering something on another system and made this quick little sequence. I just had to grab a frame and post it on the TDR.



Spelling error?! Nobody caught on to Boston's weather forecast... . Or the fact that Avid's stock hasn't been at 32 for a LONG time.....

Boston Weather

Oh, I saw the forecast - with the way weather is going this year ya just never know. MidAtlantic has it's 3rd or 4th biggest recorded snowfall in history in February, now Colorado and Wyoming have a storm that's being called the worst blizzard in 90 years - no reason why Boston can't be having super high temps at all!

And spellchecking is my idiot savant thing - kinda Rain Man. So is that really a French chef running in terror from something?

 

[HoleshotHolset]

The chef footage was from a VERY old demo tape we had lying around..... It looked like some local TV station nut - I know that narrows it down for you.

Pretty cool! But next time please make Avid stock jump by another 100 points. That would certainly push up my retirement plans...

Hey - I'm an Avid employee too!! I'm at the world headquarters here in Tewksbury working in Engineering/SQA. Say hello to Yosh H. for me..... I miss having him around here.



Heck, I would have liked to buy our stock when it was at $7 this summer.....



Matt

 

[tpuig]

How do you think I paid for half my '03!



I'll have to look you up on my next trip out.

TP

 

[HoleshotHolset]

I know folks that had their stocks set to 'auto-sell' once it hit $14... . and then it went up to $24. :-laf



If you're going to Thunder in Muncie - I'll see you there - if not... look me up if you're ever in Tewks... .



Matt

 

[tpuig]

I've been to Tewks a couple times, but no plans for the near future. This week heading to Las Vegas for Mopars at the Strip, then Spring Fling in LA. As much as I love my truck, 3k is a bit of a weekend drive...

 

[HoleshotHolset]

Thunder in Muncie is worth the trip - no matter how far you have to drive or fly.
