Need… more… newspaper.
Apparently Google employees had a whale of a good time with a rather large order of Silly Putty. I have to admit I’m a big fan of putty too, but I get mine from Crazy Aaron’s. Anyone want to go in for a few pounds?
One small step for this man.
Last night after a mini-marathon fueled by a slice of my mom’s derby pie*, I finally got package building working in Fedora Docs for the example-tutorial. Once we get the Makefile rules moved into the common one, and everyone starts converting their docs to use the new “rpm-info” DTD, we …
My ardour for Linux.
Every once in a while it’s good to write a check you can’t cash, metaphorically speaking of course. I volunteered to help out on the upcoming Fedora marketing blast by doing some audio recording for screencasts. I’ve often heard the audio for these, and it’s generally pretty bad, usually recorded …
Dreary, yet cheery.
Merry Christmas! The weather outside is… well, if not frightful, maybe just off-putting, but we had a nice morning anyway. Got a haul of nice clothes, the collected Bone, aftershave from the kids (don’t laugh, I asked for it — literally), and a business card folio. We presented the kids …

Please, God, rest ye merry gentlemen.

Linux super-artist and Red Hatter Diana Fong has created a bitchin new desktop invocation of the Fedora logo. Check it out! UPDATE: Helped contribute some images to the tour page.
Wake up America!
Greg writes an interesting bit about the discrepancy between telco and cable regulation and what it means — or at least what Lawrence Lessig thinks it means — to the future of information flow and open content on the Internet. The same spirit of innovation that fueled the Internet revolution …
A beautiful day for a drive.
Today I am taking the whole family down to Charlottesville for a Christmas supper party with some close friends. I normally love driving down Route 20 through Montpelier and Barboursville, but today I am looking forward to it even more. Because today I have a new companion for the drive, …
Pretty slick, Slick.
As my former colleague Dave found out, it was a very messy morning indeed. Not three cars ahead of me, going over a bridge that forms an overpass over the train route near our house, some bozo decided that there was really no reason to exercise any caution due to …
