According to the Chinese, this is the year of the monkey. But according to me, this is the summer of XBox.
Ah, yes. XBox. Many love it. Few hate it. Some just don’t know. If you don’t have an XBox, you can’t be classified as a “hate it” person. No, you are just not in the [...]

At some point, all of you will inevitably face a call to that ambiguous area called “Tech Support”. Most people don’t understand the common support models that make up “Tech Support”, so I figured I would save all of you the trouble and explain them.

Well, first of all, I don’t think I’ll ever be this active at this blog in one day ever again. You’re lucky (or not lucky, depending on how you look at it)…

Don’t count on getting two posts in one day in the future. I figured since this is a brand-spanking new blog, there should be something here for people to comment or respond to.

Mood: Stressed Out, Yet Slightly (I Hope) Determined
Music: Epidemic - Walk Away (and whatever else Winamp Radio throws at me)
