“So say we all”

My spring break comes to a quick close.  Could have used another week but getting this semester done with will be a good thing.  I began losing the ability to care last week as combination of my job, lack of social interaction, and stress overload.

New Nine Inch Nails Album

“We quietly released this album last night without any warning, and without any press. Because we know how devoted our fans are, we planned for an overwhelming response, and expected heavy traffic. To our surprise, the traffic was more than three times what we anticipated, and has only been getting heavier throughout the day. The [...]

…what the….??????

Yeah, still trying to find the perfect blog format that combines function, easy to read, and appeals to my sense of visual aesthetic.  I suspect that I’ll have to roll up my sleeves and do some proper coding with some homemade graphics, but that will have to wait until school’s out.
So anyway in the realm of [...]
