I have a miniature sock monkey on my desk, just the right size for the foam-rubber Phreaknic swag chair he is sitting in. Pinned to the monkey is a label reading "code monkey". Those of you who made it to last year's Phreaknic may remember that I had the monkey's picture as my badge photo, and had the monkey himself along as well, as a mascot. I labelled the monkey myself, by the way. -- John F.
