Saw the only tattoo I'd ever consider getting for myself this week: a delta. The only constant is change.

Web services, please stop badgering me to sign up for two-factor auth with my phone. I travel sometimes & don't like roaming.
Woke up to find the IRC channel I spent my teens on is alive and well and living on Facebook. Amazing to see so many old friends in one place. (Now to try and nudge them off Facebook.)
