I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with my life since I realized that my English degree isn’t going to get me anywhere that I want to go. I don’t regret focusing my time on literature at all. I love reading and thinking about what I’m reading. I loved the vast majority of […]
A Successful Beginning
Good news! I recently sold my first article! The article, Full Support for the Eee 701SD in Linux, outlines the steps a person should take to install Ubuntu successfully with full support for all the Eee’s hardware. It’s amazing what a little bit of time can yield in the open source community. Please visit the […]
Exciting News!

Prescription Update
I got the prescription. No way am I going to let the insurance company tell me what I can and can’t take. I also wrote a page and a half letter to my company’s VP of HR. And she’s going to keep getting letters until I hear from someone. And my company is not small […]
