So, relax and have a little geeky fun!! Do you like Star Wars? Did you ever play with Legos? (Do you still play with Legos?) Then you'll love The Star Wars Alphabet Project!
No, really, it's kind of cute and funny. And, for me at least, it brings back memories of a kinder, gentler age when I had time to play with Legos. You know, college.

Linux is certified to be a civil servant!

No, really, according to this article on Wired News, at least one vendor has gotten a US Federal Government certification. Sure, it's only one, and only on a particular hardware set, but still, it's a start!

There were two press releases yesterday about this. One on Yahoo!News and one on Novell's Website. Now, you may ask, why is this cool? Because, along with Novell's other products, this could produce a Microsoft free environment. Okay, just savor that thought for a moment. "Microsoft free". Aaah...
It'll be interesting to see how that effects Novell's stock price.

Plumbing, that is.

I love paper art.
