Facebook.com is the new Crack Cocaine

It’s true I tell you.  This stuff is the internet equivalent of Crack.  (World of Warcraft is more like Meth […]

Hacks and Slashes

Once again - it seems we’ve suffered the slings and arrows of our internets. Again we’ve rebuilt, and our host (who shall for the time being remain nameless) hasn’t offered dick-squat to help identify the source of the evil. For that reason - we may bounce around a bit over the next few […]
