A Run Around Lake Union
Text by Matthew Baldwin
I am both a programmer and a Coca-Cola addict, a combination that could cause me to balloon like a self-inflating life raft at any given moment.

Matthew Baldwin is a programmer from Seattle who lives with the Best Wife Ever and a handful of good-for-nothing cats. He runs the web site
defective yeti, loves to play board games, and once convinced 30 sober adults to run the 100-meter dash with their pants around their ankles. Once the patent for his combination Bagpipes/Breathalizer is approved, Matthew Baldwin will become obscenely wealthy and move to Belize.
