It will either happen today or February 14, 1958 when I am sixteen. It is ridiculous to mention even. When people in my generation haven’t been in contact for a long time, or haven’t posted to their webpage or other…

Storey is… Asleep and will return… Soon (Hopefully)
When I worked at Glide (they update their website now!), I designed this makeshift sign that I manually laminated with contact paper which served the purpose of either the old open/closed signs my Dad used to package with FAX machines…
Purgatory
You know how people sometimes say they wish they could hit the pause button on their life and just have some pure, unadulterated downtime? I’ve probably said it before at some point. Let’s see, yeah… here (15 March 2007). Well…
