    "Jake, Jake, Jake... Thank you so much for sharing your office with us when we still lived in Chicago. It was fun hanging out with you guys. You certainly have an interesting & impecable character. But I still like your puppy more than I like you. : )"

    "This one time I was going to take a picture at a Tibetan monastery. I was just about to hit the shutter when a monk silently, without interrupting his meditation, pointed at a sign on the wall. It said "If you aren't Jake Nickell, don't even attempt to capture our inner white light on film. You just aren't photographer enough."

    True story."

    "Where do you start with this fine specimen of a human being? If he is, in fact human that is. Let him be an example that websites can function without advertising, graffiti has a purpose in the work place and creating communities can change lives. Three cheers for Jake! Hip Hip, Yayhooray!"

    "Jake sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Jake roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month."

    "Once Skaw slaughtered 999 ninjas who he thought had insulted his honor. He spared the thousandth ninja, proclaiming that his soul was full of light and he would one day become the Messiah. Twelve seconds later, the ninja was hit by a bus driven by Bob Saget."
