With all of the overtime I've logged lately, I decided to do the right thing and spoil myself like any other red-blooded American would do. I ordered the Nikon R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System two weeks ago. I immediately ran out and bought a handful of the necessary ...

FYI: I have been using the same AMD Athlon XP 2200+ (1.8GHz) processor since early 2002.

How do you avoid saying something cheesy about how you really need to update your blog more often? Anyway, I need to. Avoid saying it that is.

Well, my 240sx bit the dust on Friday. Immediately AFTER I filled it up with $30 worth of gas and $20 worth of oil (which is completely drained every two weeks due to massive leaking).
