Free as in beer. EXACTLY as in beer.
Finally, someone’s combined the two greatest things in the world: Open source and beer. Zymurgists, take heed!
Gig and a half.
Saturday night we have a gig at Andy’s in Chestertown, MD with our good friend and very special guest drummer Evan Pollack. Y’know, I need to check with Evan on something… turns out that if you google him, you’ll see a hit on a Jeff Lynne tribute album. I keep …
Eight days a week.
I did a huge amount of work this weekend for the Docs Project: Outlined the next-gen Documentation Guide; Outlined part of a new hands-on example tutorial section; Read oodles of archived messages and bugs in Bugzilla to gather dangling inputs for the Guide and our other process docs; and Even …
Amidst his gorgeous feast.
This is an outrage! Who among us does not know the immortal classic “C is for Cookie?” Sorry, I think I’m capable of teaching my kids that they don’t get to eat cookies ALL THE TIME. Cookie Monster is lovable because of his gluttony; the hyperbole of this little sweets-gobbling …
One love, yo.
I couldn’t be more psyched—I found the coolest anti-racism site ever on the Internet! It’s like Sally and Johnny are saying exactly how I feel! I’m going to send a story to Slashdot so even more people can learn how to spread the love, dig?
Another true report from Iraq.
This just in from a “friend of a friend” who passes on this report from the front. Please, please, please pass this link on to others you know, but do not copy the story verbatim. If you’re visiting this story, please feel free to leave a comment below. CG FIRST …
How to live up to a name.
Well, you could make an amazing movie like The Incredibles, which Eleya and I saw in the theaters and just bought on DVD yesterday. And somehow in between, I managed to forget just how darned great this movie really is. You have to love a movie that bucks the going …
The merely adequate just got merely adequater.
My new title came from a funny (yet trenchant) quote from Steve Weinberg that I found in the QOTD machine. On my own site, no less! Which just goes to prove that self-aggrandization can only end in self-cannibalization. Oh, and tears. An expert is a person who avoids the small …
It’s quiet… a little TOO quiet.
This week I’m at a training course (RH423) at Red Hat in Tysons Corner. Commuting in this morning was almost like a dream—the beautiful, peaceful sort in which many of the idiots have been vaporized, kind of like the NHL season or Cuba Gooding Jr.’s chances at another Oscar. It’s …
Half-baked, fully zonked.
As with every other half-baked commentary of its ilk, the author of this deranged, zigzag screed has no conception of the Constitution’s purpose. It is a document that guarantees certain rights against encroachment by the government, not by private entities. Free speech is not your ability to say whatever you …
