I’m a college student and internet enthusiast. I’m a writer for TUAW and DownloadSquad. I also design websites in my spare time. My blog is pretty random. You’ll find anything from news about Apple to pictures of food, puppies and airplanes, among other things. Hope you like it!Tumblr (3.0; @johnburke)http://johnburke.tumblr.com/<p>It’s my friend’s birthday today. He has no tumblr, no twitter or any other form of social media in which I can specifically @reply him or the equivalent. But he’ll get a kick out of me blogging that it’s his birthday.</p>http://johnburke.tumblr.com/post/255398806http://johnburke.tumblr.com/post/255398806Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:46:00 -0500<img src="http://16.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktlkzeZfXo1qz9tjmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://hunsonisgroovy.com/post/255252050">hunsonisgroovy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.threadless.com/submission/242436/How_Low_Can_You_Go">How Low Can You Go</a></p> </blockquote>http://johnburke.tumblr.com/post/255273483http://johnburke.tumblr.com/post/255273483Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:28:48 -0500<img src="http://16.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktfyz315SI1qzr38no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://legos.tumblr.com/">legos</a>)</p>http://johnburke.tumblr.com/post/255255259http://johnburke.tumblr.com/post/255255259Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:12:10 -0500<img src="http://17.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktljfkrfPk1qznqcqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Cloud computing?</p>http://johnburke.tumblr.com/post/255214161http://johnburke.tumblr.com/post/255214161Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:35:44 -0500“youtube? what is that… a band?”<br/><br/> - <em>I love my Grandma.
