shawnp0wers The woolen socks itched. Well, I guess that’s not really true. They were rough and scratchy, but weren’t really irritating. At the least, they were a reminder of the rough outdoors, and at the most, they kept my tootsies from freezing and falling off. I’m thankful for both. Black Friday, instead of braving the stores for deals, I was invited … Read more
This is the kind of thing I like to see in my browser window. MMmmmm… Snow….
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Christian through and through. I get annoyed by holiday catch-phrases though. Like the, “Jesus is the reason for the season” pins? Or emails? 100 a day?

Linux Journal magazine recently opened up their corporate website so that any staff members can post to the front page without being moderated. Foolish mortals… If you are interested in Linuxy things, stop by and call me names in the comments threads. Here’s a link.

Please tell me what this note means. My guesses are: I’m expected to “fix” the state Lotto, or Manage a football team, or Eradicate … Read more
It turns out I did have helpers, and some were even adults. (Thanks Josh!) As soon as we emptied that last tarp, the snow started coming down pretty hard, and before we even had the rakes all put into the van, the freshly raked lawn was covered with a blanket of white stuff. We cut it close.
I have to rake tomorrow. It’s not my lawn, and due to an unfortunate series of circumstances, I’ll be raking the yard with very little help. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be fine, it’s just that we had a dusting of snow today. It’s not enough to stop the raking, but it is a reminder that the high will be … Read more
It’s really lucky for the rest of the world that geeks and writers aren’t terribly motivated folks. One of these days, however, we might actually get around to taking over the world. And I’m only half joking… UPDATE: Oh, and for the first time in my life, I can say “Union” without getting a little vomit in the back of … Read more
