catsinpeopleclothes asked: No I don't want you to do anything about it I just want to make fun of our kitchen on the internet, plus I was exaggerating, it smelled weird but not alarmingly weird.

My attempt at networking during SXSW
This is a rough draft but I’m releasing it anyway. I’ll continue to edit it on my own. Note: some names and details have been changed.

Today we celebrate St Patrick bringing Catholicism to Ireland. It’s worked out so well for them.

He is under the mistaken impression that anywhere in our laws or Constitution there is a rule that states must predominantly speak English. What a complete idiot.
Who’s down for creating a holiday to celebrate Bradley Manning? He’s an American hero and deserves our praise.

I need biz ideas for SXSW
Here’s what I’m good at:
building quick mobile web sites
creating logistics infrastructure (real time events, scheduling, etc)
running around like a freak

Working on the new College Houses website. I can’t decide if I should embed the konami code or not.
