I read Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson recently, and in honor of that literary masterpiece, I've set up a bit of a challenge for all of my nerd friends out there. See if you can decrypt the following message:

First person to decrypt the message and name the source will receive my heartfelt congratulations and a homemade batch of CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES! (cookie offer void outside the continental US)
Have at it! Merry Christmas!

P.S. I'm going to try and get out to Appleton this weekend, if the snow isn't too bad. Here's hoping that things stay relatively mild on Friday!
