Psst! Pass it on!

Totally groovy what I ran across today, a blog post from Deborah at the Free Software Foundation featuring your very own nixternal ๐Ÿ™‚

I have been trying to do my best and get as many people as possible interested in Free Software. Every day someone asks me how they can get involved in Free Software and I always tell them coding, documenting, creating graphics, marketing, and more. The one thing I tend to get back from them is “I don’t know how to do any of that.” Well, there is another option, donating!

The FSF has very easy payment plans for everybody, including students who are on that Ramen noodle and Pabst Blue Ribbon budget.

So if you are in the mood to contribute, head on over and donate to the FSF and become an Associate Member today!

Damn you Tivo!

Oh, I don’t have anything against Tivo or DVRs, as I absolutely love them. However…

I live in Chicago if you haven’t guessed that by now. Does anyone know what is going on in the United States today that has to do with Chicago? NO! The Cubs didn’t win the Super Bowl ๐Ÿ™‚

Obama day! Well, I sort of figured Chicago would have stayed home today to watch the events. NOPE! They all showed up to work, in their typical non-dedicated fashion of course. On the train in this morning I asked why people weren’t staying home to watch Obama, and they all said the same damn thing.

TIVO!

Argh! That isn’t the jist of it though. Now all of these people who have Tivo’d it and decided to make an appearance in their offices today, are going to be miserable. Why? Because they aren’t going to be able to surf the web because every website will have some sort of spoiler.

Another thing I heard on the train that I found interesting, and even heard it in Starbucks this morning is some people’s companies are shutting down Internet access during the events so they cannot watch it. Now that is hillarious. I wonder how many of Chicago’s finest will file lawsuits for this one :p

Anywho, just wanted to share my thoughts and hopefully provide a bit of laughter. Even though all of my friends will tell you I am not an Obama supporter, GO OBAMA! Ya Tristan, I said it, what are you going to do about it? ๐Ÿ™‚

Have a great day everyone!
