More on being a heel.
A while ago, I wrote a bit about tracking down a sham “charity” that was soliciting donations for support-worthy causes like disabled firefighters and homeless veterans. I was contacted a few months back by a reporter about my dealings with this charity, but somehow with the vagaries of time differences, …

The most coveted piece of hardware seen at the Red Hat Summit: These showed up at the semi-exclusive, Office Space-themed RHCT/RHCE cocktail reception on Wednesday night before the IBM beach party.
