On Sunday Stephen and I headed out to Hershey Park for Hershey Park in the Dark. It was fun, but I learned a very important lesson that day: I shouldn’t go on roller coasters if I have a sinus headache, for the first time in my life I got physically ill after a roller coaster [...]

Ubuntu Code of Conduct v1.1
October 20th, 2009 by pleia2
First off, Happy 5th Birthday Ubuntu! I first installed Ubuntu on a machine on March 12, 2005. Impressively precise date, huh? That’s because I signed up on ubuntuforums.org the same day. In an interesting coincidence, this morning I had the pleasure of attending my first Ubuntu Community Council Meeting as a Council Member. And we [...]

More beer in a grocery store
October 13th, 2009 by pleia2
A couple years ago I blogged about beer in a grocery store (sadly, this specialty grocery store has since closed citing the economy and location, I can’t say I’m surprised, it was in Lansdale). For those of you living in states with sane liquor laws, this may not be much of a shock – grocery [...]
