I can’t say I’ll miss you all that much, but we have spent a lot of time together. In fact, the very first PC I had a chance to actually play with used Windows 3.1. And it had no mouse… … Continue reading
Today’s Readings
The first to come after “the big blog move of 2010“. Been busy, haven’t read a lot lately, so, get something to drink, maybe a snack, this is going to be a long one… Wouldn’t this be awesome if every … Continue reading
