Hello Hello!
I’m a busy person that wastes WAY too much time on the Net. But good does come of it! I find some awesome stuff!
Updated daily most days.
Update 6/12/07:
I’m back again after a long break from blogging. Due to lack of time (excessive studying has fried my brain), I switched over to tumblr. You can view my other blog here. I plan to integrate my two blogs along with my clipmarks posts. This blog will be used to share with you the best of my finds. Hope you like!
