Robin recently asked me to write him an article for publish in a zine he was to design as a project for his school. The article was to have something to do with gaming.

SHOW UP AN HOUR EARLY EVERY TIME. Which I understand completely, after all, I'm working for rich-people doing rich-things. They don't like to wait ( Read more... )

I so get paid for my hobby now. It's obscene. I've got four DVCAMs recording to mpeg and uploading to our shared drive.
