I forgot to mention the really big news from this last week at work. I have been upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7! I feel so bleeding edge now. I switched to classic theme, so it feels like XP. I’ve also been switched from Office XP to Office 2010, so I now have that ribbon [...]

I just got off the phone to LG about this piece of crap Nexus 4 phone. Their response is physical damage is not their responsibility, so I will have to pay for a repair. I suggested that designing a phone that will shatter when it is placed on a room temperature surface (yes, that really [...]
