a mr. halcyon would like to meet you..
for way too bloody long, i’ve not been particularly involved in anything digital, except what it takes to get by. hell, i feel unbearably lame in innumerable ways. all things digital used to be my playground, not just a topic of my academic masturbation. every once in a while i am reminded that i am not having enough digital fun, and today it was all thanks to a mr. halcyon.

San Francisco Punks and yuppies.

Some teachers wanna teach math anyway possible… “Hector knocked up three girls in his gang. There are 27 girls in his gang. What is the exact percentage of the girls in the gang that Hector knocked up?”
