If you’re reading this, just ignore it. I needed an RSS feed title for Tick Talk to read as an alarm. It’s a neat TTS iPhone app.

My Latest Twitter Theme: BBCM v1.0
// August 20th, 2009 // Comments Off // opinion
I miss Code Monkeys. Very much. In fact, I identified with the characters on Code Monkeys almost as much as the people I know in real life. So, this month(ish) I’m dedicating my Twitter theme to: “Hey G4, Bring Back Code Monkeys!”
G4, Bring Code Monkeys Back (An Open Letter)
// August 20th, 2009 // Comments Off // opinion
Dear G4,
You guys are the devil. It’s been more than a year that we’ve been waiting for you to come to your senses and put Code Monkeys back on the air. I can understand that you have a network to run and all, but still. If you’re not going to bring it back, the either someone there or Adam de la Peña PLEASE tell us why.
Thanks,
Jungle Rob

Obey The Monolith

This is my latest work on the Jungle Head. Bonus points if you can name the famous background picture I used.
All hail the Hypn…. Whoops, I meant…. Obey the Monolith
I wonder if I’m getting old.

About a year ago, I got a pair of glasses from the eye doctor for driving at night. I haven’t worn them to drive at night, but I wear them when I switch Vim into tiny font mode so I can see more source code on one screen.
That’s right, I’ve been wearing them for reading. Now that I think about it, three out of four grand-pa’s admit to wearing reading glasses due to age. I’m not a grand-pa, but I’m really comfortable reading with my glasses on. Does that mean that I’m getting old?
