too soon to tell

I’m standing on the balcony and its raining. However, I can see Mt. Hood and the sunrise to the east of it. Given yesterday’s election results, its surely a sign of the apocalypse.

When it Rains

We had a great weekend in Bellingham. The weather was very nice, and we were able to visit with a lot of old friends. The Yoda decided to stay an extra week, but its in working order again. A frosty windshield and ditch resulted in a broken radiator. Mechanics say its working again, and I’m going to Amtrak it up there this weekend to fix it. If not, I’ll have to Greyhound it.

However, Scott drove separately, so we were able to get a ride back to Portland yesterday. Picture this: compact car, 4 adults, 2 dogs, weekend luggage. It was actually quite comfortable.

When you think Microsoft, think Security. – If that seems like a strech, add “and Exchange Commission investigation” to the end.

If you use a computer..

Tonight I was thinking about bumper stickers. I like bumperstickers. If you can’t fit an idea onto a bumpersticker, it might be time to reconsider your position.

I was thinking about computers and Open Source in particular. I thoguht of this one: “Don’t like paying for crappy software? Use open source, and get it for free”!

Anyway, I think everyone who owns a computer should read this article by Richard Stallman. It seems quite alarmist, but it seems to really address all the concerns I’ve had the last several years. I want my realtives to read it. So if youre related to me, read it. If not, read it anyway.

I’m somewhat surprised by this. Maybe Alan isn’t ;)
