Have I mentioned how awesome the folks at Linux Journal are to work with? Well, they are. Last Friday that created an ad, and put it live on the www.linuxjournal.com website. This is not to be confused with the ad I created, oh no, this is much better. Much. I don’t want to post a screenshot, because the ad is … Read more
There are some things I do that are almost too absurd to share with the public. Thankfully, this isn’t one of them. Plus, I “shared” with the public more than I ever intended to anyway… This morning, due to insomnia problems, I was getting ready for work after my family had already left for school. As I was going through … Read more
In today’s tech tip, I show you how to upgrade Linux so you can have things like IE7, Minesweeper, and MS Paint!
This hard drive contains over 16,000 photos of my kids growing up. No, I don’t have a backup. Yes, I thought I did. (An untested backup is no backup at all) I’m 99% sure the PCB failed.

You know those videos I do all the time, teaching folks how to do stuff with Linux? Well, humor me and pretend you do. Anyway, this week Linux Journal is giving stuff away. And not a limited amount of stuff either. Everyone that plays can win. You can play. You can win. Watch this video for details, and if you … Read more
Today I put this together: Some of you may have seen my tweet about it earlier. The part that was really interesting for me is that a former student was chatting with me over IM while I was assembling it, walking me through some of the things that have changed since I last built a white box machine. (Several years) … Read more
That’s right folks, there’s no hope now. You’ll be seeing much more of me. (I mean, not like more of me, but more often.) Sadly, my truck is off the road for the winter, so actual TruckCam will have to wait. I’ll try to fill the void with something. Yay for video!!!
I’m sure it comes to no surprise that my kids are cooler than me — but here’s some video evidence. At least they get to listen to good music while they show me up. 🙂
Over at Linux Journal, we’re doing new “Linux in a Minute” videos. Ideally, they’ll give you a tiny tidbit of helpful information in about a minute. We started last week, but we’re going full force this week. Click through to enjoy! (PS: Please leave any comments over on the Linux Journal site)
