Here's a good article on […]
So if you're reading this on Saturday March 24, 2007, you lose! Or something. Of course, it's after midnight on Friday March 23, 2007 so technically, I'm not participating properly either. Of course, I'm too much of an addict rebel to go along with any set day like this anyhow. Actually, that's not so far […]
