It’s generally poor form to revel in others’ distress (see: Hilton, Paris vis returns to jail), but I must admit to a small amount of glee upon hearing the news that O.J. Simpson’s company is declaring bankruptcy and may have…
I’ve been very busy here at WWDC these past two days and thus haven’t really had time to post much. Classes have been interesting and mostly useful. I got a chance to go out and see Ocean’s 13 the other…
