Way too soon
I was on Ebay Platinum Reserve late last night and I found a listing for David Foster Wallace’s suicide note. I immediately hit ‘Buy It Now’ and scooped the thing up. It was expensive, but instead of wondering how much I paid for such an exotic item you should be thanking me for scanning it and posting it, for free, on my LJ. Here it is, in its ( Read more... ) -
End of another era
In a world where previews will no longer have that signiture smoky voice, in a time where after 25 years you won't be able to hear said voice, in a place where previews will sound a hell of a lot shittier....there's us. -

So the company is sending me off to Las Vegas tomorrow for the 3 day TRAFFIC Conference. Ive never been there so this should be an interesting trip. For most of it I'm going to be hanging out with domainers and chatting them up about our services and for the rest of it...well, I'm not sure. I'm not interested in gambling or hookers so I guess I' ( Read more... ) -
