Evening Reading

by Xav de Matos, Oct 14, 2010 5:00pm PDT

Oh, hey. Yeah, this "Evening Reading" thing isn't my usual gig, but I thought I'd jump in and see what's what. Garnett is out for the podcast. Brian is out sick. I'm going a little out of my mind. So, it's a good time to get a conversation going.

I've recently started buying pieces of my "gaming rig of the future." The rig itself being built in the future, not necessarily from the future. Although, that would be awesome. But it'll get really old when the computer disappears into another time every time I type the numbers "88." Oh, and by the way, "Go Leafs Go!"

Where do I sign up?
