What a journey it’s been so far. I’ve met so many great people, made more progress than I thought was possible, and enjoyed every minute of it.

I thought this was too cool not to pass on.
Amazon is selling an umbrella with a handle modeled after Darth Vader’s lightsaber. At $99.99 it’s pretty pricey though.

Did You Know? Shift Happens

This video would be a perfect way to do a viral marketing campaign for the new Terminator film.

Film Review: Casino Royale (2006)

“The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning.” Ian Fleming, Casino Royale.
