Projects.

Projects. Are being warmed. Ohhh, yes. They are being warmed. They might not be boiling yet, but they’re lukewarm, at least.
I’d like to talk about them, but… I can’t. They would know. They would find out. They would kill me.

LCD TV Hunt Over: Got Irony? I Bought The BRAVIA V-Series.

I know, I whined about the frame rate in store. Funny, isn’t it?
Yep, I bought a BRAVIA V-Series 32-incher. Baseline: very happy with it. The 32 inch model is a perfect size replacement for the 68cm 4:3 TV with side speakers – it fits snugly into the same area, but provides a much wider and [...]

Plug: Space: Above and Beyond
