Do you read the Sunday paper? Which one(s)?
No, I tend to keep my news related reading to Vox and my RSS reader. That reminds me, though...
Years ago, when I was going to school in Washington, I lived with my grandparents. Around halfway through sixth grade, I started collecting the daily comics from the local newspaper. They were conveniently placed at the centerfold, so each day was a simple four page piece of newspaper (so no need to clip or anything). I have always loved comics (I follow at least a dozen webcomics regularly), and this is my earliest recollection of actively collecting them.
This continued until some point in mid 7th grade, when the newspaper shifted formats and screwed up the page layout. Instead of the awesome removable section, the comics were cut down to two pages and placed at the beginning of the entertainment section. They also placed some of them at the end of the same section, as well, so not only were they physically on separate pieces of paper, they were fragmented. It pretty much killed my interest in archiving those precious funnies right then and there.
How many computers do you have in your house?
Submitted by Foomper.
Oh god.
I have a desktop, a laptop, and a fileserver (though the latter isn't plugged in at the moment). Matt has a laptop and his fileserver. Thomas has two laptops, a desktop, and I think he has a fileserver, too. Osborn and TJ each have a laptop and a desktop. John has his desktop, his fileserver, a third box that he uses for something, and his laptop. That leaves Katie, who is a noob and only has a desktop.
So a rough estimate of 18. If you considered our modded Xbox's (which make awesome media center centers after being hacked), then we're up to 21. Finally, you have the Xbox 360's, which I would basically consider a computer anyway. That ups the total to 24.
It's a wonder our power bill isn't four digits.
What do you do to get rid of a cold or flu?
Submitted by ashenflowers.
I rarely get sick, but when I do it's not pretty. Generally once or twice a year, I'll essentially disapear from the world for a day or two, to suffer in my room alone.
There are times that I get a small cold, though I wouldn't call that a sickness. In that case I just ignore it; I have no time to pay attention to little things like that!
What's the last thing you usually do or think about before you fall asleep?
Usually I ponder how I'm going to solve problems that appear. I also talk to myself quite a bit, weighing the pros and cons of a situation. I don't think speaking to oneself is a sign of insanity. Anyone who does is a communist.

What is your current computer desktop image? Let's see it!
<3 my desktop.
What's your cell phone's ringtone? What made you pick it?
The intro to Spin Me Round, by Dope. It's a remake of the original 80's version. I chose it because of the guitar instrumental in the first 10 seconds of the song. I'd upload the mp3 cut of it, but I changed laptops recently and...yea, I lost it. My bad.
