I'm Al.  I offer very little here, not into blogging or twitting. However:
  1. Read lolcats. They're good for the soul.
  2. This isn't me.
  3. This is.
  4. These are my photos.
Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work.
Practice is when something works, but you don't know why.
Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don't know why.
