Everything else
My wife and I give to a number of charitable organizations, including many police charities that provide community support, like the Virginia State Police Association’s program that gives teddy bears to children involved in domestic abuse situations, and provides for families of officers killed or injured in the line of …
I got a comment just today from a fellow Fedora Project person (he pulls far more weight than I, and on a more continual basis, so the term “colleague” is, I think, inappropriate — anyone have a better one?). I wanted to respond here on the blog and have the …
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?
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 …

I’m feeling pretty proud of myself, having fixed our powder room toilet, which over the past few months haw gradually suffered a decline in its ability to refill after flushing. I had previously replaced the stopcock assembly and checked the whole thing for leaks, but with no effect. Turns out …
Most nights I don’t remember my dreams, which is good, because when I do, they usually don’t make any sense anyway. Every once in a while, though, there’s one that I think I need to remember, and I’ll write it down somewhere. So, as loathe as I am to begin …
