Quote of the day

My Twitter-friend Dustin on staying accountable via Twitter:
“I have 500 people, some spam robots and some porn linkers to hold me accountable. A shady group of folk but a good group nonetheless.”
Anyone who uses Twitter knows the truth behind that. The rest of you, move along, there’s nothing to see here.

This will only be funny to people that have played games online. Let’s just say it’s populated mostly by idiots.
Oh, and 256-player online? We don’t doubt it will work … we just doubt our brains’ ability to process 255 racial slurs and/or homophobic remarks simulatenously.
From this story talking about a new Playstation 3 game with [...]

From Tony’s post today on love:
“But there is a lot of real estate between hating people and loving people. And bridging that gap usually involves sacrifice, commitment, energy, time, and/or resources.”

After looking at some of my pictures yesterday a friend of mine commented, “You know, there really is a difference between the quality of fancy cameras and regular ones.”

Quote of the Day

“How very Olan Mills of you.” — One of our brides while I was trying to tell her how to pose at her bridal shoot. The pose was a little more traditional and she was right, it didn’t work at all. I can’t do traditional very well.

Greg Vaynerchuck in his review of Trader Joe’s line of wines:

If you’ve ever wondered what a [...]

“Transform times my vary.”

We were thinking of getting Conner this Optimus Prime toy for his birthday. Our concern was that it would be too complicated. We bought Colton one that was about a third as big and that dang thing takes 30 minutes to transform.
