Sitting on the front room floor with that old shag carpet underneath me and my favorite hanging lamp over my head. Jack and Kate are over like youd expect. Squeezing my fists as tight as I can. Imagining myself and where Ill be in 2 weeks - going to be awesome!

Cupertino loves the patent-encumbered H.264, not surprisingly; Microsoft does too. original. This is my blog
