I don’t like to lose my power in general but I’m really not happy when it’s winter and snowing.</p></p>http://www.swervinghead.com/post/16854107642http://www.swervinghead.com/post/16854107642Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:18:18 -0800<p>Slate: Obama Outlines Plan To Curb College Tuition <a href="http://goo.gl/mag/KFvhl" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/mag/KFvhl</a></p>http://www.swervinghead.com/post/16643435341http://www.swervinghead.com/post/16643435341Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:50:21 -0800<a href="http://">http://</a>: <p>Secret Windows 8 Weapon: Kinect Built Into Your Laptop <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/27/secret-windows-8-weapon-kinect-built-into-your-laptop/" target="_blank">http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/27/secret-windows-8-weapon-kinect-built-into-your-laptop/</a> via @techcrunch<br/> That would be pretty cool, minority report here we come.</p>http://www.swervinghead.com/post/16642878210http://www.swervinghead.com/post/16642878210Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:39:48 -0800<p>It looks like my scanner will live a little longer, I was able to repair it.
