Photo by Tara Russell.

When I came across this photo snapped by Tara Russell, I knew I had to share it with our Matador folks.

Who needs a laptop? Spotted this guy at Starbucks with his entire desktop – CPU, monitor and all – loaded up on a cart.

Netbooks are for wusses, apparently. This guy means business.

    If it’s true that our species is alone in the universe, then I’d have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little
