I am drawn to the shiny little plastic tray that four ToffifayTM candies came nestled in. It stands as a testament to the progressive march of the food packaging technologies that make civilization bearable.

Connectix QuickPICT camera, Notepad, Internet Explorer (to design) and Netscape (to surf). (And lately, much the the chagrin of the staff, Diablo.)

Every year around the holidays I start into J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. I don't enjoy anything else from the fantasy genre, however. Read more Philosophy, kids.
