So it’s been sometime since my last post. I suck.
So as I wait for my final lap  top, office location and badge here at my new job (more later) I was checking out the latest Washington Post emails. In today’s TechNews sections there is an article about students blogging and using sites like Facebook. [...]

The Recap.

January 4th, 2006 · 1 Comment

Everyone seems to have done their holiday recaps so I’m guessing that it’s my turn to go at it.

Chronic-What?-les..

January 2nd, 2006 · No Comments

Since the whole world has gone ape shit over this video, not that it doesn’t deserve it, I thought everyone should get a link to the guys that put it together. Gentlemen, behold!
