sober

Brad and Jaclyn and I picked out an apartment today. My rent will be $625/mo. Not too bad.
I am tired.
I meant to reply to about 20 email's today, and had about 15 posts I wanted to respond to. But… I didn't.
Ashley called today. I wont go over all the details of the call… but the [...]

w3m rocks

I don't think anyone has ever created a web browser better than w3m. Once you get used to the key bindings, navigation is a breeze.
