…at an old school barbershop. Number of times I heard the word ‘product’: zero. #winning (Thanks for the recommendation, Colby!)

It seems like a ridiculous question. We use our computers all the time, and we don’t ask anyone for permission. Our work devices are a bit different, but let’s forget them and stick with our own computers, phones, and tablets. We own them. We can do whatever we want with them, at least within reason [...]

I’m loving Antichamber so far…except for the parts where you have to build stairs. So finicky, so error prone! Thank God there aren’t many of them. Great game otherwise!

Life dealt Charlie a rough hand from the very beginning. He was found just a few weeks old on the streets of downtown San Jose, dodging cars and people, alone and scared of his own shadow. Charlie was a hermaphrodite. He had a respiratory condition that made him wheeze and sneeze in fits and starts. [...]
