Fuck Buttons
A drunken foray into Seattle’s Chop Suey led to the discovery of the Fuck Buttons, quite frankly the loudest and dirtiest pair of synth geeks ever created.
They also have a killer web designer.

Frightened Rabbit, those poster children for Seasonal Affective Disorder, are back!
New Thao!
Thao returns!
Brunch in Seattle
Eat at Monsoon.
Oh my God, it’s so, so good. They invented Sunday just for this restaurant. Best dim sum on the planet, and also the best hollandaise.
Dell
If you think you might like a new computer in the future, do not ever buy a Dell. Their customer service, should any difficulty arise, ranks equal with the Spanish Inquisition.
It took me sixteen phone calls and four racks of emails to return a monitor. That is twenty contacts for one return under the “Dell Complete Satisfaction Guarantee.”
My guaranteed complete satisfaction is so complete that I’m warning people to avoid Dell like unprotected sex with a Haitian junkie prostitute.
Fuck you, Dell. I hope your God damned company folds. Give me back my fucking money, you thieving liars!
P.S. If you, or anyone you know, works for Dell, please issue me an acknowledgment of my plight, and I’ll issue a retraction.
I doubt that will ever happen, though. Dell doesn’t care the slightest about its customers; they just want your money.
Rot in Hell, Dell Inc.
Do not EVER buy anything from Dell!
P.P.S. I bought a 24” G2410. It was, is, the best monitor for home use I have seen; its reviews and acclaim are valid. It is not, however, good enough for professional design, film, or photo use.
Dell offers no exchange program to their top-of-the-line UltraSharp series, which is purportedly fantastic, if not as good as Apple’s Cinema Display line. They offer nothing at all.
Never buy a monitor you cannot touch. Never buy from a company you do not know personally.
My mistake. All my other purveyors have names.
