I have a busy few days coming up so I am not sure how much I can post. I decided to post a few random things that I find cool:

I have officially gone through all my bookmarks and moved everything to de.licio.us so if you ever want see what I feel is bookmarkable…take a look.

When I got home, I burned another copy and while my Comcast connection was out (TV and internet!) I installed and configured Ubuntu with ease.
