A stunning picture of Tiger Woods was taken at the Ryder Cup as he swung his club and hit the ball directly into the photographer’s camera. This was an amazing feat in itself, but what actually made the picture famous was the quirky mustachioed man smoking a cigar to Tiger’s left.
That xkcd comic reminds me an awful lot of myself. I still haven’t finished Half-life, I’ve yet to play Half-life 2 and all other expansion packs, and I’ve yet to play Portal.

It feels good to be able to update from the comfort of my bedroom! A Telmex technician showed up at our house Monday morning to set up the land line and do the wall jack installation.

By the end of September, I will have gone one year without having internet access at home. During this year, I’ve switched homes three times and switched jobs four times. I think I’m finally at a stable point in my life - at least stable enough to commit to a 1-year rental lease.

I went through a couple and the one that caught my interest was Questionable Content by Jeph Jacques.
