Question: “Kroy, how do you usually get your models?”

Email from reader: “…and how do you get your models? Do you put out ads or what?…”

Why APPLEs are for Hippies – Macs and other Junk

Every so often somebody asks me why I’m not using Apple computers. Particularly Mac users have a very annoying and often arrogant way of letting you know that their box is oh so superior, stable, better, prettier and whatnot.

According to Newt Gingrich on Meet The Press we are pretty much in the long anticipated sequel to WWI and WWII. Since creativity isn’t an option with policitians we shall call this sequel WORLD WAR III. (Love Roman numerals. They’re so fetch.)
Newt Gingrich: “We’re in the early stages of what I would describe as the [...]

Oh Conroe Where Art Thou?

THE most frustrating experience I’ve had in a long time was trying to score the new Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor. Why am I so nerdy about this?
