I’ve been growing more and more concerned lately that all my “stuff” is just on my computer… and decided an extra LaCie drive was a good idea. Finally plunked down the money for one of these guys… and finally got around to moving over a lot of my data. Ok. Prepare yourselves. It’s like you …
Spotted this on Blue Line, on the way home. I was pretty sleepy and worn out from the day. As I glanced at the seat in front of me, this is what I saw. Note to self everyone: You Are Beautiful.
At lunch today, I lingered around after my meal and talked with Letty and Eddie. Letty commented that none of us wore a costume today, and we all said something to the effect that we just sort of ran out of steam this year. Today marks the second year that I haven’t dressed up for …

As is tradition, Matt dressed up for Halloween today. The dreads fit in nicely with the beard. The best comment he heard today was someone asking him if he was a wookie. Just another day in the office. Fore more past Halloween office pics (and more of Matt’s great costumes), check out: Halloween 2006 – …
This doesn’t sound all that amazing, but… it actually is. Some guy has created (from the blueprints, mind you) a mini-replica of Scrooge McDuck’s fabled money bin. This is some amazing stuff. I love it when obsessiveness gets taken to this level, because invariably something awesome like this ends up the result. And, of course, …

At the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor, Felix is about to get this thing jammed up his nose. He even took video of the procedure. Gross.
