I went through all nine VHS tapes and have tips I learned from this series that I still use to this day.

Fascinating to think that the area outside the crescent is illuminated by light reflecting from Earth.

PhD level spin doctoring on “but her emails” right there.

Not exactly sure what’s going on here, but this is a secret handshake I don’t think I’ve ever learned.

I’m a year behind and never saw this. What a creative way to solve a problem. The walk behind still needs some work, but I think it makes the solution way more attainable.

Also, Happy Birthday!

I was goofing around with solid definitions via scripting and I think I've been Kyled.

As it is often said, what people do with the product 90% of the time takes the first 10% of development. The remaining 90% of development is spent on 10% worth of edge cases.

I would totally wear a T-shirt with “Zolids” on it. Right next to my (w)otate shirt.

Everyone seems to be posting pet pics. So here is Lana. She likes walks, cookies and belly rubs.
