The No Skip Project: Songs 1-20
I always put together mixes of the songs I’m currently into, and then I end up skipping track after track as I try to figure out what I feel like hearing.

You Know @MayanRocks Is Your Friend When:
You see a fortune on the ground and your first thought isn’t “cool, free fortune!” Instead, you think “oh hyphenation that’s no good…also what’s with the kerning and alignment?!” Lord only knows what design sensibilities I would have ended up with (or without) had I not spent years working with Marion. Someday I will pay … Continue reading
Scenes From Next Week’s HIMYM: Karma
Here’s how I think it will go: Barney takes Ted to a strip club to mend his broken heart. This may done by trickery or just good old-fashioned Barney being annoying until he gets his way.
