Okay, not science. But just some Magic Rocks growing in my cube at work.

Anyone going to the Durham TechShop meetup tonight?

Attempting to run errands was a mistake. Glad I didn’t go into work today.
Reddit/digg etc seem to be dominated by posts about cults these days. I’m not sure if the scientology or the gtd folks scare me more. If I could figure out how to sell e-meters to productivity types, I could make a fortune. Maybe something once I clear off the todo list.
Motorcycle hill climbing on tv. Awesome. 220hp nitro burning dirt bikes. Be There!
Totally forgot about Henry Rollins being in town tonight. Enjoyed the spoken word/standup/storytelling gig I caught at Lincoln Theater a few years ago. “I’m a trekkie for King Crimson!”.
I don’t buy as many shoes as some people. But I ordered some shoes from Zappos last night at 10pm, and they were sitting outside the door this morning. Pretty impressive.

mocktail
popcorn + ketchup == faux shrimp cocktail
also, this cold kind of sucks.
the ugh
Seem to have picked up the cold that is going around. Nothing likes sneezes that make your shoulders and arms hurt.
fruitloops
Odd observation, if you make sweet tea with Earl Grey tea, it kind of tastes and smells like Fruit Loops.

Some old videos from the NC/Raleigh area.
The Raleigh NC Scene circa 1984. Featuring a lot of punks and some band called “subculture”
The Chapel Hill scene. Circa 1990
Geezer Lake – Liberated Woman Reunion show at Cats Cradle. I was at that show. Probably my favorite NC band. Also The Bag, Birds, Fresly Reaped, Flat World
Picasso Trigger – Rub A Dub
Bicycle Face, last show.
Squatweiler – Belle Star fan video?
odd mtv segment about Flat Duo Jets
Video about some of the “comboland” bands
Projexorcism in Winston Salem
conFUD
The main day of the fudCON talks were today. Seemed to go pretty well. I pitched two sessions, one on OLPCs/Asus EEEs/ultraportables, and another on func.
The OLPC session was more of a meetup/get together than a talk, and seemed to go pretty well. Unfortunately, it got scheduled against the Fedora.tv/Vaniv/Percolote talk, so I missed that.
My real talk was func, and the talk seemed to go well. I tried to keep the slides pretty slim and lightweight, and breezed though them pretty fast, but I think it went okay. I didn’t seem to get any of the vaguely aggressive questions in the Q&A these sort of talks usually get, so I’ll take that as a win.
Fudcon
I’ll be at FudCon this weekend. What is FUDcon? It’s like a BarCamp but for Fedora nerds.
I’ll be helping with the presentation on Func. I’m writing the slides at the moment. Yay! Slides! If there is anything someone wants me to include (photo, reference, curseword, etc) let me know and I’ll see what I can sneak in. My slide presentation philosophy is “leave them confused”.
You may also know me from other slides and hackfests like cobbler, pulp, olpc, eee, vidpress, and wknc.
