LaptopLogic.com!
Just a shout out to our most recent advertiser... LaptopLogic.com!
Nitrozac and I have been working on laptops exclusively for about 5 years now, and I can't see us ever going back to desktops. (We learned this from our geek mentor Woz!) Today's laptops have all the power just about anyone will need, with the convenience of mobility. Add in the fact that you can hook yours up to larger monitors at your desk, and you'll be in geek heaven.
So if you are in the market for a laptop, check out LaptopLogic's news, reviews, tips and how-tos, and accessory guides. And for those of you thinking of getting an Apple, they test Apple laptops with the same methodology as Windows-based laptops, so the reviews are fully comparable to their non-Apple hardware reviews.
Thanks again LaptopLogic.com!

The Keyboard Cat Phenomena
If you haven't seen one of these yet, you shall. Play him off Keyboard Cat is the latest craze out there in Internet Land. Mix an EPIC FAIL with a talented feline, and you have a hilarious new meme. Lots of examples are out there, and you can find more at playhimoffkeyboardcat.com. And now there is even an Automatic Play him off Keyboard Cat maker.
Warning, the example below is nsfw, but sadly hilarious...
