Thinning the herd…

I heard on the radio today that Hasbro is releasing a new version of the Game of Life this summer, with a Visa card instead of cash. Personally, I don’t think too much of this game to begin with as its nothing like real life, however, for those parents who use it to teach their [...]

Good List of resources….

Despite the fact that I’m not a big fan of his… Wil Wheaton actually has a decent post about some good linux resources out there.

Too Many Linuxes?

I am by no means a guru when it comes to Linux, but, as (I think it was Zaphod Bebelbrox’s Psychiatrist) someone once said, “I’m just a guy, you know?” As such, I have been using linux for about 7 years now, and I’ve watched it grow from a fun server/toy use to something that [...]
