Bad Key Copies
I returned to the apartment building, stuck the key into the lock, and felt the same frustrating resistance that first brought me out of my apartment on a snowy sleepy Sunday afternoon. I tried it again. And again. And again. If this was the login screen on a certain website, these repeated failures would force me…

Lazy Research into What I’ve Recently Read Online
I decided to do a little half-assed analysis into the articles I’ve recently read from around the internet. This is not a typical “hyperlink list of articles I’ve read on the internet.” Reading List: 1 – Internet Companies 2 – Mobile Payments 3 – SMS Time 4 – Job Work 5 – Mission Personal 6…
