Yeah, this is one of those sappy posts. But I like to think it's worth the few minutes of my time to write it, and it's something I've really noticed and I'd like to share my appreciation.

I've made it past my first 90 days at Red Hat and I …

I was hunting around yesterday to find some themes for my Blackberry Storm. When I first got it, there was one theme to choose from, but now there's a whole bunch of them, so I figured I'd note them here so I don't have to look for them again when …

Well, maybe not but there's an interesting survey of college students that correlates Facebook usage with grades, and how people (keeping in mind this is just a survey, and there are no real conclusions by the authors) who spend more time on Facebook have lower grades. So, I come to …

Well, this past Thursday I got my 11th tattoo (although it only looks like I have 9 in total, two were to extend earlier tattoos). Every other tattoo was pretty good pain-wise... no big deal. This one wasn't too bad either, except in a few tender spots... base of the …

So, I've gotten quite a few emails about what I'm going to be up to, so to save myself having to type the same thing over and over, here's the lowdown.

I'll be hanging out with Adam for two days in February... you can see where he's going to be …

Well, due to some changing circumstances, I decided I'd try to get a better handle on my email and maybe move to using IMAP instead of downloading all my mail. There are some really irritating reasons why this is a bad idea (in my case).
