			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>[Update: My Mac Pro has found a very nice home. Thanks to everyone that inquired.]</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m selling my beloved Mac Pro (2008 Model) which I recently replaced with a laptop. I&#8217;m moving to a big city very soon, and I want a machine with a smaller physical footprint to accommodate what I anticipate being a very small apartment with no room for a full size machine. It&#8217;s an absurdly fast rig that you can do just about anything with. I&#8217;m selling it to you and shipping it free to anywhere in the contiguous United States (that just means all the states but Alaska and Hawaii). Here&#8217;s the deets.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul class="macFeatures">
<li>It was purchased on December 30th, 2008.</li>
<li class="alt">Its name is Maria.</li>
<li>It is an extremely fast machine with <span class="bold">2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors</span> and <span class="bold">10 GB of RAM</span>.</li>
<li class="alt">It is currently running Mac OSX 10.6.3 Snow Leopard.</li>
<li>I&#8217;ve never watched Twilight on it.</li>
<li class="alt">It&#8217;s a perfect machine for designing, gaming, rendering video, and more.</li>
<li>It has never been used for voodoo rituals.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Pictures</h3>

<p><span class="cute">Don&#8217;t ask me why this image gallery sucks so much. It was the first WordPress plugin I found.</span><br />
If you have a particular image you&#8217;d like to see, <a href="mailto:joe@hugsformonsters.com">let me know</a></p>
<h3>Technical Specs</h3>
<table class="macTechSpecs">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="labelName">Processor</td>
<td>2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="labelName">RAM</td>
<td>10 GB 800 MHz DDR2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="labelName">Graphics Card</td>
<td>Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="labelName">Hard Drive</td>
<td>320 GB Western Digital (I think. Whichever is the default.)</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h3>Included</h3>
<p>I am including with the machine:</p>
<ul class="includes">
<li>Snow Leopard Disc</li>
<li>A wired Mighty Mouse</li>
<li>A full-size Mac keyboard</li>
<li>All the wires and stuff like that</li>
</ul>
<h3>Repairs</h3>
<p>The machine has only undergone one repair. A headphone jack was accidentally snapped off inside the front headphone port. The machine was taken to an Apple store and repaired by their staff. It now performs perfectly, and the only evidence of any damage is a tiny bit of scuffing around the headphone jack. Aside from this, the machine has undergone no repairs and has never had any issues.</p>
<h3>Price</h3>
<p>The machine was $3,200 US when purchased from Apple in December of 2008. I then added another $600 US worth of RAM upgrades. I am selling the entire package, purchased for close to $4,000 US for…</p>
<div class="priceWrap"><span class="price northCarolina">LOLSOLD</span><span class="cute">Plus Free Shipping To Anywhere In The Contiguououououous US!</span></div>
<h3>How To Buy</h3>
<p><a href="mailto:joe@hugsformonsters.com">Contact me via email</a>. I&#8217;ll take payment via Paypal. That&#8217;s pretty much it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everybody. Welcome to the new portfolio site. This one took me a while. Illustrator&#8217;s block and a heavy workload for a month or two slowed me down, but here we are in June, ready to go. If you like the site, you can always say hi on <a href="http://twitter.com/hugsformonsters" target="_blank">Twitter</a> or submit it to your favorite CSS gallery. Or don&#8217;t. Ya know. Whatevz.</p>
<h3>Here&#8217;s the big changes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>New illustrations, layout, and navigation.</li>
<li>All dynamic content (including all projects, project thumbnails, and toychest links) are being handled through WordPress. Lots of custom loop stuff mostly based on &#8220;if else&#8221; statements.</li>
<li>Easier to share stuff with other people now that I&#8217;m using Sociable.</li>
<li>Less irrelevant content (no more links to projects on the sidebar of the work site).</li>
<li>I tried to make as many URL&#8217;s a sentence as possible. I just think it&#8217;s cool looking and, hopefully, someone will be able to tell what a page is about just by reading a URL. It might need some fine tuning, so feel free to shoot me an email with a suggestion for better wording if you see somewhere that could use improvement. The idea is from <a href="http://shiflett.org/blog/2010/may/url-sentences">this article from Chris Shiflett</a>. Thanks Chris!</li>
<li>I disabled comments. I really don&#8217;t like comments on almost any site, but I really don&#8217;t think a personal blog on a portfolio site warrants a commenting system. It&#8217;s about one person&#8217;s voice, not a discussion. If I ever offer tutorials or something, maybe I&#8217;ll reopen them, but I genuinely doubt that will ever happen.</li>
</ul>
<p>So thanks for checking it out. I&#8217;ll have a few new blog posts in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for that. So yeah, have a good Monday.</p>
