Linux Snobs
I just read a document over at Really Linux that drives home the point that one of Linux’s major hurdles in gaining acceptance is the arrogant assholes that bash newbies trying to learn the ropes of the OS. I have to agree with it. In my own experiences in experimenting with Linux I have found [...]
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter everyone! Let’s not forget the true meaning of this sacred holiday…
The Easter Bunny Hates You
Ok, so it’s video day. Some of my friends may not have seen this on Lantern Waste Company so I thought I’d repost it here. I can’t stop watching it. “The Easter Bunny Hates You.”
‘Uncle Lakay’ Fan Club
Kim has been posting some amazing pictures of her mother and father and their family on her flickr account and this particular photo of her father has had me laughing out loud all weekend.

Another Gig on Horizon
We might be opening for Yngwie Malmsteen at the Roper Theater in early May.
Don’t make any jokes, we want this gig.
