Thursday, May 15th, 2008

As most of you know, I’ve been working in downtown Seattle for a while now. Living in Redmond makes for a heck of a commute; about 85 minutes each way including driving, riding the bus, and walking. Overall, I kinda like it, as it gives me time to read the daily geek news […]
