Beware the wrath of Dave, poke fun at his netbook and he’ll just crassly assume you’re a spineless puppet of Apple folk because they’re naturally the only ones who are uninspired by flimsy designs. I resemble [sic] his remarks… for one thing not all Apple fans are boys ;).

Just a quick headsup (or is it "heads up?" or "heads-up" or "Bird is The Word?") that @roel247 ust used the Buy Ruben a Coffee button on the blog sidebar here to buy me a cup of coffee because he contains an abundance of awesome :). Thank you sir!

I may be blogging too much.
just spent an hour catching up on 3 days of RSS feeds. About 1/3 of it was @rubenerd.
As I told the proprietor of this far more interesting blog than mine after repeatedly apologising, I make up for my lack of intelligent thoughts with… quantity! Like this post you’re reading now for example, there’s nothing of substance here whatsoever. An intelligent blogger wouldn’t ever publish a post like this. The Bird is The Word.
Trying out some of these new Whole Wheat Radio share link artist widgets, what an awesome idea!
