For free.
Damn, does it look nice...

Dad bought me a computer, thinking I didn't have one.
I'd already built myself one, and he got me a Gateway. I returned the computer, and got the monitor instead.
Yum.
P.S. Half-Life 2 @ 1680x1050 w/16xAF & 6xAA looks sweet AND smooth. :D

Watched parts of the BSG miniseries on it last night.
It is indeed an Ooooh-aaaah experience.
It's about 10% of why I'm smiling ear-to-ear this morning.

Had a good date last night.
Geeky.
Googled me.
Didn't run away screaming after googling me.
She reads Scientific American.
She really seems to like me too.
Did I mention she's HAWT?
I'm floating around like I'm on a little cloud today.

Tell her to drop by here
If she doesn't run away screaming, you may have a keeper.
And if you don't, we get new blood. Which is always a good thing. :-)

I hardly think that level of gloat warrants an Internet Closed Casket Service. Certainly an Internet Face Slap is more appropriate. I'd even take two, one for each cheek. :-p
