To revive this site or not revive this site? That is the question.
Wow…that’s fast
Charter sent me a new Ubee cable modem that supports docsis 3.0 and the results speak for themselves.
Dinner with Jacque
Last week, on the 23rd, I turned 33. We went out to eat at a restaurant in Elk Rapids, Michigan called the Siren House. The food was really good.
The restaurant was minimally decorated, but in the men’s bathroom was this cool picture of Jacque Cousteau. Does anyone know who the other guy is? Maybe he’s just an assistant or something.

Vacation 2010
Spent the week of January 2nd thru 9th in Central Florida. One would expect that I was in for a nice warm, relaxing week in the Florida sun. Unfortunately it didn’t quite work out that way. We arrived during one of the coldest weather weeks in 30+ years. Luckily, although the weather didn’t cooperate we did have a good vacation.
We took it easy all week, but still managed to see the Atlantic Ocean, see the new Sherlock Holmes movie, visit the Orlando Ripley’s Believe it or Not Odditorium, the Magic Kingdom, and Downtown Disney.
Below is a picture of me in Tomorrowland at Disney World. It was probably around 50F that afternoon. You’ll notice I’m sporting my Ubuntu stocking cap
Top 5 Favorite Podcasts 10/5/09 Edition
- The Tony Kornheiser Show – Mr. Tony is mankind’s greatest defense against the animal revolution. Classsic!
- Linux Outlaws – The best Linux podcast and a great podcast in general.
- Floss Weekly – Great way to keep up with the vast Free Software world, from a primarily non-Linux users perspective.
- Windows Week – I enjoy the interaction between Leo Laporte & Paul Thurrott. The great thing about Paul is that he is a Microsoft fan without being a zealot. He also cuts through the Apple fanboy bullshit.
- Computer Action Show – I’ve begun to sour on this podcast as they often resort to shock value tricks (ie. name changes, attacking other Linux shows, diggs for more frequent shows, etc.).
Special mention goes out to the VoIP Users Conference, which I listen to live, but is available as a podcast. The live show starts at 12:00 pm EDT every Friday.
