Sid Dickens T192
  • Loving several of these Sid Dickens tiles, especially Opaque T192. I collected them in the 1990s when they were $60 each rather than today's $90 each.
  • Finally listening to Radiohead's NYE broadcast. They sound great.
  • Thinking we'll never see what the deal is with that island after JJ said "Mystery is more important than knowledge" in his TED Talk (via Eric)
  • Listening to Vampire Weekend's A-Punk way too many times.
  • Digging the TaskSwitchXP app for alt-tab app switching. It has plenty of config options and a tiny RAM footprint.
