There is no god damed way I'm going to pay over a thousand dollars for going 87 in a 65 (when people were doing 80 in the slow lane) even if it means I don't step another foot in the state of Virginia for the rest of my life.

Took the train the DC on Friday to hang with queiss and try to get into the Black Cat for the Dismemberment Plan. Showed up suuuuper early, and actually got in without too much trouble at all. Made friends with some locals + two guys that had flown in from London. We situated ourselves right at the very front and stood there through two (actually damn ( Read more... )

Official announcement from Dens that he + Alex quit Google this past Friday. While I like to think that I was a damn good engineer, my work counted for about 90% of the support they got from Google over the past two years, and that just wasn't enough to make much happen.

PS: Daft Punk is doing a limited North American tour. If you don't go, you're an idiot.
