Gots m’self a new CPU cooler. Not that my i5 is running hot with the stock cooler (between 45 and 55 degreece celsius idle), but it could be cooler. Also, I’m kind of gearing up for Assembly 2013 Summer. That is always an extra strain on the machine since there are like, 3000 other machines […]
Read MoreCredibility… It’s the only currency that means anything on this kind of playing field. Dean’s got the tape, and he’s gonna come out with it. And when he does, I want his credibility.

I am an atheist, as is my son’s mother. Therefore, religion hasn’t really factored into his upbringing. At school, he will not participate […]
Read MoreI may have already titled a post like this. Obviously, this is a reference to Matrix: Reloaded. Anyway. Some updates. Stuff going on. Looks like i’m traveling to two places this year.
