My blog doesn’t really provide much in the way of trenchant political commentary. I leave that to more talented wordsmiths like my friend Chris. But I have to mention here the sadness that I feel at the death of former President Ronald Reagan. He was truly someone who lived the …

My brithday was uneventful… spent most of the day on the road with Leah & crew to play at the Frederick Arts Festival, which ended up being a bust given the nasty weather and consequent low attendance. Today she and I are doing an acoustic duo at 11:00am at the …
So in their efforts to choose a reliably nondescript and universally inoffensive campaign slogan, John Kerry’s aides have chosen a poem by Langston Hughes. Which is a bit ironic, because while Kerry has been assiduously careful to not alienate large sectors of the American people, Langston Hughes wrote many poems …
I’ve set up a new repository for my work with the Fedora Documentation Project. Hopefully I’ll have some extra time to create some more content over the next few months as I get used to Core 2.
Back at work today after feeling a little better yesterday. I made it to band rehearsal and we had a pretty good run-through for Saturday’s show at the Frederick Festival. Leah and I are also playing Sunday morning at the Herndon Festival. Look for us on the “Cafe Stage.” I …

Tom, our guitarist opened up for The Brindley Brothers at their club Jammin’ Java in Vienna. Hopefully I’ll …

Having spent a good portion of yesterday hacking on my central home server (which provides print queueing for everyone else at home), I can now say that if you want a modern printer, you can’t go wrong with an HP printer. I threw away several hours trying to get an …
Returned last night from Red Hat HQ in Raleigh, NC, after taking the RH300 to update my certification status. This morning I received my score in the mail, 100% on all categories! In all honesty, if I hadn’t done that well I would have been embarrassed, since (1) it was …
