Carlos

January 6th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Anyone who knows me or reads this site and actually remembers anything I’ve ever said knows that I hate Real products with a passion and won’t install them on my computer. Period.

Work Originally uploaded by scottpartee. This is where billions in economy are generated every day: in tiny little insipid cubicles in rows under flourescent lights. His domain sprawls before him.
