All right. Here’s the deal – Bob was in a good mood. Wow – this novel thing is going to be a pain in the ass. I’m looking at the blank page and realizing that I don’t think I’ve got a handle on reality that can be shared with the masses. I’m colored by many…
I’m sitting here in the low-rent district of Dulles (Terminal A). The flight’s supposed to get to the destination at about midnight; however, we’re running about an hour and a half late. Bummer. She was in her late 20’s, smoking hot, and completely aware of it. She was wearing a green knit hoodie, and snacking…

So, most things seem to be falling into place – I got DVD playback working, which turns out to be no small feat on a PPC running Ubuntu. Will post details on that, but other than having to try a couple of different players, it was pretty much straight out of Ubuntu Hacks Tomorrow, I…
So, big idea for August is going to be Linux. Specifically, Ubuntu. While I’m scraping up pennies to get me one of them spiffy new MacBooks to take care of all of my computing needs, I’m going to switch over to Ubuntu on my venerable iBook to see if I can make it without OS…
So, here’s the deal. A while back, 43 folders or Chris Brogan had a bit that struck my interest. I forget which one it was. I suppose I could Google it, but that’d kind of kill the vibe. Stripped down to its essence, the idea was to set aside 10 minutes for unstructured thought each…
