Hello! Annoying news! I’ve been informed by work that due to an investor delay I am not going to be paid on time. I need to pay my rent and internet/phone and eat, so if you can give me a hand, I can pay you back in the next few weeks when my pay shows up. Thanks!

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

I heard there was a mighty fish
With solitude its fervent wish
When hungry, their demeanour's even ruder
They're known to bite their prey in two
They'd even have a go at you
The silver and the salty

Today is the day to tell a strange story.
The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.
Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.
