• So the deal is, a lady is selling her Kindle on Craigslist for $399!!! She could be doubling her money! I almost shit myself. So I told her. #

• On the iPhone, the terms “sleep”, “lock” and “standby” all mean exactly the same thing, correct? I gotta problem with that. #

• Wil got a big box from Amazon today. It’s been staring at me, sticking out its tongue even though it’s just a buncha deodorant or something. #

• Ugh. htaccess and mod_rewrite are straining my brain something awful. I need to get better at regex, I shoulda had that down cold years ago. #
