px http://virb.com/playerx r0b" if i'm online, msg me! i'm a friendly geek. i have a blog. I enjoy keeping a blog, although I generally dislike other forms of writing. i'm interested in the culture of technology, and the many codes that hold it together. one day i'd like to go see Jerry Springer and be in the audience, but if my life ever starts going awry, i wouldn't mind being a guest. my dog's name is negative. he's just a big lap dog. i think he's well trained and very friendly. pain is: a. my best friend b. evil c. all the above. i generally feel pretty distracted by my chronic pain. i need to smile more. tivo, and netflix generally keep me entertained. i'm not too into reading fiction or books, i do like to occasionally read geeky magazines about business or technology. I consider myself laid back. i like being outside on a nice clear day it rocks. in the words of Incubus, 'I GET BORED...' who i'd like to meet I'm open to meeting anyone, but I do have standards. Ideally I'm looking to make friends and meet people who make their own fun, like to hangout and do social things. I can learn a lot about a person in an hour of conversation. I'd always like to make more friends to do things with, but I tend to just be shy. If I send you a message you seem interesting to me. I do not want to hear from your "band". If I do not know you and you decide to befriend me without a message, I will report you as a friend spammer. ]]> Virb 2.0 (@playerx) en Curiosity killed the twit, Twitter clickjacking (via Google Reader) http://virb.com/playerx/posts/text/1087068
