Philosophy dropout and self-proclaimed synthesist. Handle with care.

Mosquito: Buzz?...
Simon: *whips out flamethrower*

Nuclear lunch detected.

"Calling it a milestone would be too generous. Let's settle for 'inchstone', that sounds about right."

I've had Miracle of Sound's "Ascension" playing on repeat in my head all day. Not that i'm complaining. That song is f#*%ing awesome.

Self-promotion is so alien to me, that when i do end up needing to do it, it feels like i'm betraying something.

It's that time of the year, when i start thinking about migrating my microblog to a place more "hip". Somebody, talk me out of it.

Absolute indifference is both the Universe's ultimate punishment and greatest gift.

"I feel an immense consuming emptiness inside me." — "You're just hungry, aren't you?" — "...Yes."

"I'm making tea. Which one do you want?" — "The one that's coffee."

Putting the little shrimp to sleep singing Miracle of Sound's "Little Sister". Best Dad Award candidate, methinks.

"Is everything even alright with you?" — "Hell, no! I'm not THAT crazy."

"So, who are you going to vote for these elections?"  "The Party of Whores and Thieves." — "...Do you have any idea how little this narrows it down?"

"You don't talk much, do you?" — "No. I'm saving for something."

"ASIC-resistant" is just another way of saying "botnet-friendly".

"I shouldn't need to be knowing this. The system as a whole should."

I have a genetic defect which prevents my body from producing any fat cells. Before you get all excited, remember that it means i begin starving as soon as my blood sugar runs out. I can assure you, constantly hovering near the brink of starvation is not always fun.

"Someone's listening. Quick, say something smart!" — "I know nothing." — "...Nailed it!"

The best form of spontaneity is one that was planned out well in advance.

"You're a good man, Simon!" — "That's news to me."

Even in my dreams i worry about not getting enough rest and [as a result] losing contact with reality.
