Oh, and the t-shirt is explained here.
Suggestions so far:
“If you thought the latency from yelling at disks was bad, wait until you see what happens when I take this to them”
“Suddenly, @brendangregg just got an uncontrollable urge to scream at the Oracle banner.”

Storagetek’s Broomfield, CO, headquarters was abundantly decorated with artwork. After Sun acquired the company, everyone moved to Sun’s BRM campus, and eventually the Storagetek building was closed down. The artwork appeared overnight in the BRM offices. I don’t know who decided where to put it all, but our floor (engineering) got lots of photographs of objects in space.
Naturally, someone couldn’t resist a caption on this one.
I love it when unplanned juxtapositions cause unintentional humor. This “sequence” occurred during yesterday’s Oracle TechNet taping of an interview on DTrace between Brendan Gregg and Rick Ramsey.
NB: I have no idea what the cameraman in the background was actually laughing about, it seems to have been an inside joke with the camerawoman behind me.
The session was supposed to have been webcast live, but the live feed had gone down. I’ll let everyone know as soon as the taped version is available. It was a good talk.
I don’t know who drew this gem. It’s been on a whiteboard at Sun’s Menlo Park campus for quite a while, but soon will be no longer…
