I made myself a lovely sweater for my birthday, which I have dubbed the Assassin sweater. This is because it is inspired by the main character from Assassin's Creed 1, as well as the hunchbacked drawings by Aitor Throup.

behold the Assassin Sweater!It is pretty much as comfortable as wearing a blanket with sleeves, and yet much better looking ( Read more... )

I watched a part of a documentary about the Vietnamese village of Mylai, and the group of US soldiers that eradicated it during the Vietnam War. It was regarded widely as an atrocity and a war crime by the public, although nobody was ever convicted for it.

The keyboard is dreamy and backlit, and I got a magic mouse to use with it since I hate trackpads ( Read more... )

I took a cab with a nice lady named Janice. She lives near me, because she hailed a cab at the bus stop near my house where I was also trying to catch a cab. I asked her where she was going, and she gave an address that is in fact the building that my window looks directly at the back of! So I asked if I could jump in with her, and we chatted a bit ( Read more... )

A little while ago I got the $1 Dr. Paul products promotion, thinking it was an awesome deal, and a great way for me to get my friends into Dr. Paul. Well the 14 day Dr. Paul on Call trial that comes with it, quietly expired and then automatically charged my credit card. No warning that my trial was going to expire and I'd get charged for the rest ( Read more... )
