As of tonight, all employees of my company are terminated. A select few will be sent e-mails overnight to ask them to return on a day-by-day basis to continue offering service to customers, so a structure exists.....yielding the possibility of finding a buyer ( Read more... )

I stayed at the Die Nasty - Soap a Thon improv marathon from 6pm on Friday when it began until 2am on Sunday. I was awake and watching somebody perform for that entire range.

Earlier this afternoon I watched an episode where he was in the Australian outback with little water and no provisions. To keep the sun off his head, he took off his boxers and wrapped them as a ( Read more... )

I normally turn to Digg.com a couple times a day to catch up on news and events. It's been increasingly difficult to see valid submissions over the last week or two - even more so since the iPhone was released. Every second story hitting the front page is yet another site offering their review, their disassembly photos, or news about a hack ( Read more... )
