Xmas ‘06

December 29, 2006

Well, it wasn’t an overly exciting Christmas this year. Pretty low key, nothing spectacular, (except for some choice photos of my niece) we just kept it a quiet Christmas.

What they fail to realize is that I’m the exact opposite.

So now i’ve got about 2000 pages worth of useless material that i’ll never read. I’ve passed it on to my roommate, who is more than happy to sit in there and fester while reading little anecdotes and random facts that have no impact in life. But it’s the thought that counts.

I did get a new electric shaver and some cologne though. I guess they were trying to tell me something.

Oh man, there’s this site out there that basically lets you create lines with a pen, and if you hit play, this little dude in a toboggan will attempt to slide down your lines. Well apparently this guy took it to a whole new level, and created this:

That’s insane. It must have taken this guy DAYS to create this. Un-fucking-real.


My kind of faucet
