Meet Dorkus Unpopulairus - He can design a large model of a human head from computer parts but the best he can do for a hat is a neon green visor. Do not approach. He rarely plays well with others.

For two years I was actually a blog author here at CR4, so when I posted that, it was to let readers know that the content that I had already scheduled to post wouldn't get the close to immediate response as it did when I was working for GlobalSpec.

It has been two years, so I guess it is time to change my footer!

Just another Saturday in the GlobalSpec parking lot with Roger Pink.

Can you hear me now?

Can you see me?

Do you even know I'm here?

Why are you attacking me?
