For Better or Worse

Introducing the Eggsacutor 3000xi

July 9, 2009

Jeff has come up with some great ideas in his lifetime.  At least in the portion of it in which I’ve known him.  Ideas that we could totally market – if we were ambitious like that. Our infamous game, for instance: a Jeff original.  Really, it was a collaborative effort – but mostly him. Our [...]
