  • The story goes, or the way that I was told, there was a king that always felt too high and then he felt too low. And so he called all his wise men to the hall, and he begged them for a gift to end the rises and the falls. But here’s the thing—they came back with a ring. It was simple, and was plainly unbefitting of a king, and engraved in black—well it had no front or back, but there were words around the band that said “just know this too shall pass.”


  • Haha but really my favorite quote is

    Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

    Really helps me feel better about the fact that I’m a 28 year old man who exclusively watches anime











  • I was about to answer that I don’t really have anything to bring, but the many pointy bits of metal I’ve stuck in keyways and the many hours I’ve spent watching defcon talks actually has me ready to give a whole presentation on security

    I’m bringing my lockpicks and showing how easy it is for someone to rake a standard kwikset lock. Be aware of your security’s limitations. Even if you have the best lock on the world, you do not have plexiglass windows. If you don’t have a security system beyond a simple lock, and there are a lot of break-ins in your area, it’s time to invest in an electronic security system, and then put a sign out front advertising a different system.
