Bye bye NY (and NJ)
Had a great week reconnecting with a team that I typically only see in text chats (or through what they post here on Tumblr).

And while the mobile hotspot is a great feature, on Verizon’s CDMA network you can’t use data and voice simultaneously. If you’re broadcasting an internet connection with your Verizon...

i apologize for keeping on about this

but I am sick to my stomach right now because this event and the back and forth between people on either side over this worries me so much. I feel like no matter what we find out about his motives, no matter the reason this obviously disturbed young man went on a shooting spree, we were shown today just how deep and wide the divide in this country is. We are at a really...
