Two Small Experiments 27th
I did two experiments today. The first one determined that I probably need to stop drinking coffee. The second one determined that returning stuff bought online isn't half as bad as it sounds. Read More…
Think Different 26th
I love this photo that Apple posted on its homepage. It's stuff like this that makes me really want to work at Apple. My Think Different photos that I bought on eBay are still sitting in boxes. I should really put them up. Read More…

I had one [...] Read More…
Furniture Deliberation 16th
I really can't decide what to do about a new sofa. There are so many. I looked a lot of different sofas this weekend in many different stores, but nothing really jumped out at me. I saw a Bensen that I like, but I think a Bensen costs a lot of coin. [...] Read More…
