So right now I’m within ear shot of a web design meeting…. funny thing is the only web designer in the company (me) wasn’t invited.

I normally don’t do the commercial post thing, but I’m liquidating some excess hardware so…
Brand new in box, never used. I am selling a USB Raid Case Quad Drive. This case will hold 4 IDE drives, each between 80gb and 1tb which may be spanned or combined into one huge drive as you like. [...]

The Dekalb County Police Department turned out in riot gear yesterday to drag off a few peaceful folks protesting Scientology. Apparently, the rattling of a few cardboard posters a few hundred yards from a Scientology compound on public property is sufficient cause to allow “noise ordinances” *cough* bullshit *cough* to trump Freedom of Speech [...]

So, sat on my patio last night with a glass a wine and watched the storm. It was beautiful the way the lightning intertwined with the towers. Only found out later that there was a tornado bouncing around parts of the city. Don’t they have sirens for this sort of thing? It would not do [...]
