Today at work one of my managers told me it’s a good idea to have a business card for yourself. I could use one of the generic RadioShack cards and scribble my name on it, but that’s not as professional and spiffy as my own card. So I made my own:

It’s been awhile since I last created forums. Ahh, good times…
Anyway, I’ve created the official MCWE forums at http://www.intrepidstudios.net/mcwe/. Feel free to sign up and check out whatever posts are there.

The ultimate gamer’s machine, version 1.0 — A Mountain Dew modified liquid-cooled gaming computer with refrigeration unit, water and syrup pumps, CO2 tank and carbonator.

RSS, Atom, feeds, that little orange box with curves inside of it. I’ve been aware of it since it’s conception. I just never found the need to touch it. Until now.
