Ted is awesome, quite frankly. I do hope sky pick up on the good feedback they're obviously getting from these testing notebooks and let him geek out a get a bit "techy" during race weekends. Gotta love the development cubicle

Nothing has beaten his excitement of the audio mixer sliders moving themselves (day 3 notebook from last week). I lol'd out loud
