Linux Journal at LinuxWorld

Stop by for a free (awesome) poster!

Posted on Natuba

I’m off to LinuxWorld this morning. Admittedly, usually I consider 3AM as part of the previous night, but the airport is 2 hours away, and my plane leaves early anyway. Ugh.

I’m not really complaining. I hear San Francisco is beautiful this time of year, and I’m looking forward to hanging out with the whole Linux Journal crew. It’s just that I’m not a morning person.

Oh, and I’m positive I forgot something. Really, it’s an aching, horrible feeling. I’ve checked to make sure I’m wearing pants several times already this morning.

Here’s hoping no one reads this for hours to come!

We have 2 dance pads for “Dance Dance Revolution” the other day, and it’s amazing to see my 9 year old. It looks like she is randomly bouncing around, but in fact, she’s hitting 90% of the “steps” during the song. She does NOT get her coordination from me. 🙂

I’d show you video, but it’s not her turn anymore, and I’m getting tired. Heheheh.

UPDATE: I lied, I recorded some. 🙂

Over at Stonekettle Station, Jim has quite an interesting story going on. It’s worth your time to go over and read it. Really. Also, check out Jim’s site in general, as he’s a pretty interesting fella.

No, I’m not really going to wax my face — but I’m tempted. Here’s the deal, my face is absurdly sensitive. I have to use a fresh razor almost every day, and that razor must be touched by an elvish princess while being sprinkled with aloe freshly squeezed from an aloe plant growning on a hill nourished only by mountain fresh spring water.

And I still usually get razor burn.

I’ve tried several electric razors, but they either don’t get all the hairs (especially on my neck, ick), or they rip off my flesh around the pointy parts. Since I’ve sorta grown attached to my chin, I just do my best with a razor.

Oh for my 20s, when I could shave once every other week and be fine. (Seriously, I’ve only had to shave regularly for a few years) If someone knows a secret way to shave a particularly sensitive face, I’m all ears. And no, I don’t shave my ears.

Look, it’s another video from Linux Journal. Their video guy is weird.

Something interesting I noticed while traveling this past week: Men at airports tend to wash their hands after using the bathroom. I find this amazing, as most of the time in public restrooms, guys will handle their junk, and just walk right out. (eiw) At the airport, even with the added inconvenience of lugging around luggage, most guys would take the time to wash their hands.

I have no idea why that was the case, but it was significant enough that I noticed. And appreciated it.

Our AWESOME sushi in Portland. It was truly awesome.
