I was procrastinating from finishing up my site redesign when I came across Zooomr, a photo sharing site, which is kind of like Flickr (it does have a similar interface) but with several added features. I had to sign…

I can only see my mother’s face so vividly when I’m dreaming about her. When I’m not dreaming, I have trouble picturing her face in my mind they way I remember it. And it’s only been less than three years…
Troy came back from his guys only weekend yesterday and made everything right. He had a talk with the morons downstairs and brought the cable TV back on (stupid Rogers Cable). And then he said the words I’d been…
