The 36 hours since Friday at 5:30pm = very nice.
The Bureau performed some improv at TerpStock, and though we were thrown on-stage almost a half an hour before we were scheduled, and approximately 30 seconds after we arrived, we had a blast. After that, I […]

Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road.

Ok, so maybe I’m being a bit melodramatic, but I’m taking the plunge and not on my terms. Over the past few years, I’ve been on-and-off with Linux: dual-booting, running it […]

It’s Friday the 13th, which bothers a lot of people. Personally I pay it no heed, but then again, my brother was born on Friday the 13th, and by age 4 he had broken more bones than the other 5 members of my immediate family combined.
