This hummus you gave me is SO much better than General Tso's Chicken!

My current desktop. Pretty exciting, yes?

I watched Jack Horkheimer every week late at night on PBS right after Doctor Who. I recall struggling to remain awake, for just a minute or two, while an ethereal melody played a happy lullaby, and Jack described what to look for outside. It formed a kind of bridge between all the Science Fiction I was ingesting and the real world: here were stars, constellations, galaxies I'd read about, and there was Jack, floating out amongst them. Some people hustle pool, others hustle cars, then there's that man you've heard about, the one who hustles stars.

I love Kindle 3. It landed on my doorstep yesterday in a brown box. It caused unusual upturned creases to spread on both sides of my mouth.

K3 is smaller and lighter than K2. After reading K3 for an hour or so, I picked up K2 and it felt absurdly cumbersome, like switching from a paperback to a hardback book. How did anyone ever tolerate it!?

K3 has better contrast than K2. Comparing the K2 next to the K3 shows a striking difference: the words in K2 now appeared faded from centuries spent under a glaring sun. How could I have read some many words like that!?

Also, K2 cost me 2.6 times what K3 cost me. How could I have paid that!?
