I just scored 41.22288% on The Geek Test, which qualifies me as a "Major Geek." I always knew I was special.

Another cool link today: while reading an article in Wired, I found a link to this site dedicated to owners of the discontinued, yet highly prized G4 Cube.

Tacky Shirt

There’s a lot of prehensile backslashes, and it seems a number of my image links are broken, but I’m done with half the battle.
