So this is the new year. And I have no resolutions. For self assigned penance. For problems with easy solutions

Happy 2009 everyone. Can’t believe another year has passed us by already. It seems like it was just few months ago that we celebrated 2008. Hopefully this year will be a better year than 2008 for everyone.

We are still having a II stix giveaway. Til January 10th, 2009, if you submit something to us, you will be entered to win II stix goodie (shirt, hat, DVD, etc). Here are the breakdowns… submit an article, you have 100% chance of getting something. If you submit anything else (links, questions, etc), you have 50% chance of winning. If you register and post on the board, you have 15% chance of winning. Deal? So what are you waiting for? Git crackin!
