Yesterday I realized that I've been overly impulsive on purchases. I don't want to brag or anything, but I've got almost a grand in items coming in this week (not all for me though), and it's got me very excited. Let's list them shall we?

• First, probably the biggest box of them all and the most anticipated, is my new BMX, a We The People Addict. I've been riding BMX for... 2 years now, and despite the fact that

It's this kind of object that you see once and keep on thinking about for a long time until you get it. It kind of reminds me how badly my dad wants a motorcycle, except that in my case, I can actually afford it and not have my mom on my back for the rest of my life.

Twice I've had experiences with folding and Linux: once on an older, slower system where the PPD difference was barely noticeable (2 x 0 is still 0), and another time on Annabel, my new Core 2 based server, in which I made the FAH implementation much cleaner, and I thought I might as well spead the word to y'all.

Hell, even browsing...

Why? Well actually, I don't think I do hate it that much; if you were to give me a 900 right now, I'd surely go ahead and take a look at it, try a rig in it, appreciate it's craftsmanship that everybody seems to be raving about, then get rid of it before anybody sees me with it.
