Sweet News from The Music World

Check this out: 1. The guys from Starflyer 69 and Joy Elec­tric are broth­ers. And they’re get­ting ready to put out an album. Here’s their MySpace page, which report­edly has a song or two on it. 2. Even cooler? Some kids choir recorded sev­eral Flam­ing Lips songs. And they’re avail­able for a free/legal down­load. Man, I’m so [...]

Really Back in Business

Ok. I’ve got my set­ting reim­ported into Opera. I’m still debat­ing about whether or not I’m going to move every­thing over and share files between the Linux and Win­dows ver­sions. I’m kind of think­ing I’m not, just so noth­ing gets buggered.… We’ll see, I guess. Still, it feels good to be back, hehe.

Linux Is Almost Fun

Well, I’ve ALMOST given up on get­ting my wire­less to work. As it turns out, I have to down­load the code that makes up the heart of Linux (not the pro­grams itself), which is some wacky-big down­load or some­thing. I dunno. What­ever it is, I ain’t got it. But besides that, I’m start­ing to get the [...]

Fedora Dial-Up Working!!

I got it work­ing! I finally got dial-up work­ing on Fedora. Here’s what I had to do. First of all, I had to down­load the slmodemd rpm from some­where and install it. It didn’t work. Lots of other crap didn’t work either. Includ­ing build­ing it from source. I down­loaded the ker­nel head­ers (I don’t know [...]

Jesus Is My Boyfirend

Here’s a really inter­est­ing post about the fem­i­niza­tion of the church. Or rather, how it’s not that big of a deal. It’s worth a read…

Freaking Linux

Well, I’ve suc­cess­fully installed Linux now. Twice. Once with Kubuntu, the KDE ver­sion of Ubuntu. And once with Fedora Core 5. I thought it was going to be fun. It’s start­ing to not be fun pretty fast. Kubuntu was worth­less b/c half the stuff I needed wasn’t installed. And it was a 13 mb down­load for [...]

The Church

I’ve heard (and thunk) a lot recently about the church, how impor­tant it is to be part of one in the tra­di­tional Amer­i­can sense, and how I wouldn’t com­plain if I didn’t get involved in a church for a long while. And a friend of mine talked a lot a while ago about how he was [...]

Battlestar Galactica Is Not Babylon 5

Ok. I just real­ized: I’m not geek enough. I read an arti­cle a cou­ple weeks ago about the new(ish) Baby­lon 5 show and thought to myself, “Hasn’t that show been around for­ever and isn’t it geek cen­tral? Why are they tout­ing it as 1) new and 2) accessible?” As it turns out, I was mix­ing [...]

Panera Might Be Your Next Office

So, USA Today had an arti­cle about how more and more peo­ple are work­ing from a third place, Pan­era, cof­feeshops, that kind of thing. There’s some really inter­est­ing stuff in there, par­tic­u­larly about how peo­ple zone into their com­put­ers, how quiet it can get, and how pos­ses­sive peo­ple are about their space. Granted, the light­ing and [...]
