You're in a developers dream IMO.

If only I was more motivated. Congrats on all the good work and success Torgo.

It started out as a thank-you card for a LAN host but I got a tad carried away with it.

So uh, the hbo guy was contacted by g4 and spike looking for stories, and I guess he threw my name out to a few people. It's only going to be a 'picture of me making Halo crafts and a brief mention' sort of thing, but I'm gonna be on TV for it.

I don't know whether to be excited or incredibly ashamed of myself for the sheer dorkiness of this. God damn.

Still, I think it's pretty cool. I guess this counts are Internet-famous?

Thats pretty awesome! Enjoy your 15 minutes... see if you can turn it into 25 or 30.

And try to find a way to enjoy this without complaining about it and making all of us hate you.

Pulled into work this morning to see them putting up a huge 8' by 20' Halo 3 banner on my building. I'm downloading the SQL Server 2008 sourcecode onto my machine as I type this, so I can then work on it myself which is mind blowing. I work with amazingly smart people and have met lots of cool ones. The job so far is juuuuuust right, no complaints at all; And today at 11 we're heading to Safeco field for the company wide meeting which should be a blast.

you work at MS right? yeah they treat their employees right. it's almost like they go out of their way to make them happy at times, which is a rare thing these days.

Nomi, how cold have not told me about the spartans before this? I want one

Also, I've spent the morning watching Yu Yu Hakusho and playing Blue Dragon and while I have to go to work today, I have an appointment with a customer buying twenty laptops, so todays going to be an ok day all around.

Just got back from my NYC trip. It was so awesome, so much fun. I can't wait to go back. Cosmic Collisions was unreal and the street falafels were delicious.

Start my new job on Tuesday. A little nervous but after it becomes more comfortable there, I should be in a great spot. 10-5 everyday which makes it easy to have something other than a job as a life.

I used to work 2-11pm shifts and then visit my girlfriend daily. I was always tired, but now I'm hoping this will make everything better.

Moved out of my ancient shithole of an apartment into a great new place in Brighton with 3 good roommates, got a new girl coming into my life out of nowhere, I officially graduate this month and have a number of decent moneymaking opportunities coming my way. This would be awesome enough, but next week I get to do the supportive brother thing and be an usher in my sister's wedding. She and I aren't anywhere near as close as we were when we were kids, but I'm proud of her and I'm excited to be a part of this. I know how most of TNL feels about marriage, but she's with a good guy and we're all really happy for her.

Life is pretty good right now.

Well, there's been a lot of chest beating around here, Josh with the biggest brain, Biff with the biggest wallet, jonas with the biggest penis. So now seems a good a time as any to post this.

As you all know for several years I have not trimmed my beard in a manner to be one with nature. Well, the next WBMC will be held in the USA and with the support of many friends, I entered the competition. The contest will not be for another year and half, but I got my entry papers earlier this week. I will be competing for Natural Full Beard with Styled Moustache.

This is the competition I face.

I hope I do well.
