So, I bought a new monitor over the weekend. 19″ LCD 1400:1 contrast ratio w/ 4ms response time. I love it.. the only downside is I was like ohh, I need a new TV, and an Xbox360 would be nice too.. Ooh. Let’s build a new computer!
But, no! I’m not going to. Who knows what [...]

And we are the dreamers of dreams,
