I was on a plane yesterday from Jakarta to Singapore. "Welcome onboard QZ ... bla bla ... your flight captain today is Mr Mohammed Atta."
Or at least that's what I understood. We landed perfectly fine though.

My wife bought herself a new Liberty yesterday, and I guess as they were detailing it, etc, so we could take it home, they stuck an obnoxiously large dealer logo on the back.   Didn't even see it until we had gotten home.

I just randomly googled my name.
First result: Some guy with the same name wanting a certain christian music cd
Second result: A user profile at a lady gaga forum
Then you get to me...With some odd stuff.


And I stumbled on this site in the process.
Its scary.

hmmm....I've decided to have a crack at applying for a job for when I graduate, I seem fitting for it.
Trouble is...I've never heard of the company- they seem to check out but I'd never heard of them before.
