…he makes John Edwards look like John Rambo!

What makes Steve Gigl so wussy? He dared the internet to make fun of him if he couldn’t get up in the morning, and of course, he failed miserably. I mean, we’re only talking about waking up before 5:30 in the morning here. Not exactly an Olympic feat! Was he defeated by an all-night Guinness binge? Up running a marathon the night before? A swarm of tsetse flies? NO!

He couldn’t figure out how to set his alarm clock properly.

For those of you who don’t have a clue who Steve Gigl is, he’s a friend of mine who designs and programs embedded systems for a living (embedded systems are things like, ATM machines, and life-saving medical devices.) Every day at work he builds embedded systems from scratch YET HE CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO OPERATE AN ALARM CLOCK.

If you’re wondering what Steve looks like, the most recent picture I have of him was when he came to our Halloween party:

Awww, isn’t he cute? His lightsaber is, of course, pink.

Now, Steve, just in case that alarm clock picture up there isn’t clear enough, I helpfully created an alarm clock tutorial video for you and uploaded it to Youtube:

There you go. As of right now I still haven’t seen a post to your weblog with a timestamp earlier than 5:30 a.m., but now you don’t have any more excuses.

You said you wanted “much worse?” You got it, buddy!
