Dino Comics: Too Much Rage

Matrix and Windows
The Matrix Runs on Windows is a very funny video created by CollegeHumor. Enjoy!
Connector or Polarizer by Wondermark

Coincidentally Meg and I just published an article together entitled “Community Approaches to Preventing Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission: Perspectives from Rural Lesotho .” So kudos to Meg!
