you know you're living in the future when you find out from your package manager that the power is out at a university across the country

now that i finally got my new video card to work i feel a little disappointed that i have to use this computer to do stuff other than configure linux

dishes are just kitchen laundry

Just looked at my electric bill - apparently I used more energy in the first week of June than I did in the entire month of February.

I hate computers 💾😡.

The problem with being the nerdiest friend is that nobody else wants to have a key signing party :(

Nothing makes me feel cooler than listening to Devo and reading about electric cars.

Had too many wines last night and now brunch has become lunch.
