Game time: What is this?
What is this a photo of?
Make sure you make a guess before you hit the jump.

Pay Phones–archaic agents of a previous generation.
Decided to start a new set…
It’ll be a set in progress (like Wall-E or D80 Deaths) and it’ll be the awesomely boring subject of pay phones.
Size does matter.
And in this case, smaller is definitely better.
So a couple of weeks ago, there was a crazy Dell sale and you could pick up one of the Mini 9 netbooks for $185. I figured I needed something for Africa or traveling that I wouldn’t care about losing or breaking. The only real requirements were: 1) it had to be able to run OS X–because once you’re used to the glory of the Apple interface, you can’t go back, 2) it had to be able to sync my address book and calendar across both computers, 3) I should be able to edit image files on it if I have to, 4) it had to be small enough for me to justify not carrying my 5 pound MBP, and 5) it had to be really, really cheap.
Let me introduce my new toy… the Tech9.
We Buried Our Love In A Wintery Grave…
We’re not the same, Dear, as we used to be.
The seasons have changed and so have we.
And there’s little we can say, and even less that we can do.
To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you.
More after the jump…
There’s nothing to do here…
… some just whine and complain.
Bring the buckets by the dozens.
Bring your nieces and cousins.
Put out the fire on us.
My Personal “Southwest Commercial” Moment.
Hello, my name is Mathew and I am a jerk.
I’ve been pretty addicted to reading F My Life.com. It’s essentially a website where people anonymously post snippets of moments they wish didn’t happen to them. Kinda like the Southwest “Wanna get away?” commercials. Most of the snippets are posted by prepubescent teens who have some kind of horrible sex moment or witness their parents doing the naughty or something really juvenile (albeit, entertaining), but occasionally, you run across a real gem.
For example:
Today, my fiancee broke up with me. Via a myspace message. While we were in the same apartment. FML
Today, I found out that I am being sued for losing a set of wedding photos that I took. I lost them by being mugged on the way home after the shoot and £10,000 worth of equipment was stolen from me. FML
Today, I saw an elderly man fall in a crosswalk, so I jumped off my bike to help. As I helped him across, the light turned green. At that point I noticed my phone had fallen out of my pocket in the street and was run over by several cars. I then watched across a 6 lane street as someone stole my bike. FML
Pretty jacked, right? Well, I had one of those moments today… I don’t think I’ve really hit a point where I said “F my life”, so I’ll just call it my Southwest Moment.
