Puppy Love

Just about breaks your heart, doesn't it?
That's the look I get every morning when I leave for work. Makes it really hard to leave, but it does give me an incentive to come back again. Funny, though, that I get more of that from a dog than I did from anyone else. She's smarter than a lot of people I know, too.

Roll Your Own

Linux Distro, that is.
What else would I have meant, you children of the "Summer of Love"? Yeah, like anyone besides me reading this has any idea what the "Summer of Love" was.

Reflections on Carpet-Bagging

This month is my seventh "carpet-bagging" anniversary.
Seven years ago this month, I moved down here from the North Suburbs of Chicago. Love was in the air and so were the crop-dusters. And, to make things worse, my car's air-conditioning was broken. What a hellish ride that was! I shipped most of my stuff, but I loaded my precious computer into the back of my Tracker, piled clothes on it, and got my future ex-wife settled in next to me, then headed off at break-neck speed.

Blogebrity?

Has the blog craze gone too far?
Or not far enough! Now, there's a site that lists the "A"-list bloggers called Blogebrity. No, I'm not kidding. They also have the "B" list and "C" list, etc. Somehow, I don't think I'm even on their "Z" list, but, still... Well, after all, Margaret Cho was on their "C" list, so, obviously they have high standards. And, with Wil Wheaton on their "A" list, well, I have no hope of reaching that height.

Still, it's Friday, and it's a fun link, if you like lists like I do, so, go ahead, click on it!
