Need a new monitor – where do I send my hardware request?
tom | October 12, 2003
Dear Ross, I need a new monitor and have done some comparison shopping. I found the one which will work best and I need to know who should receive my hardware request. It’s a simple 15″ flat screen (10 of them). [via Slashdot]

The Cowboys just made the fastest score I’ve seen in an NFL game. The Eagles tried to get tricky and start off the game with an onside kick – Randell Williams from Dallas picked it up and jammed to the endzone for a TD with 14:57 left on the clock.

I don’t think Lucas trusts me at all – Look at his face! No, Joe and I did not call each other and get matching shirts lined up for the day. And yes, that’s my PIR cap, courtesy of Ross Rader. I need to buy a new and not_so_lame label for my bean. Oh yeah, [...]
Jobs moving offshore
