Friday, November 30th, 2007

1) What non-essential item are you not willing to compromise on?
2) What takes up more of your time than it should?

joy and sorrow

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

After recent events, I figured it was time to re-visit one of my favorite books of all time – The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.

And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled [...]

Almost 4 years ago, I purchased Raven. Unfortunately, I ran that bitch into the ground. Real hard.

Random Article + Wikipedia = Dangerous

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

I love Wikipedia. The day I found out that you could type in “wp [what you're looking for]” into the Firefox address bar as a shortcut to get to WP, I peed a little from sheer excitement. Before I discovered StumbleUpon, Wikipedia was (and still is, really) my go to portal for educational entertainment. [...]
