I have spent my last few weeks learning how to program routers, switches, and, now, Windows Server 2003. Geeks, rejoice! The Army has a spot for you. Join the Signal Corps and learn how to play with computers. Bleah.

I have finally gotten off my lazy duff and headed back to the gym. There is a Crossfit affiliated facility here in Augusta; I have been attending regularly for the past two weeks.
