I was joking to a coworker the other night that I probably change themes more than I post. Of course I immediately go change themes again. I now have something that I’m really happy with.

I’m using TwentyEleven as my theme and the Custom Design upgrade available on WordPress.com.

The printer is nowhere near as complex as say a computer or a Playstation 3, it really only has one main function: to print out a fucking document when you need it. Have you ever …
