Goodbye Grooveshark, hello Spotify! Some months, I make a playlist to keep track of the new and interesting things I'm listening to.

Google Drive App for Linux (and Mac). I hate desktop-cloud synchronization applications. Googles Drive Sync application is only available for Mac and Windows. I dont care. I have about two terabytes of files in cloud storage. I have several different machines with very different purposes—desktops, laptops, servers, mobile devices—and I only want to store files locally if Im actually going to use them for something. I need a command line tool. Google, through unofficial channels, has delivered. Don't b...

Distracts Others: Installing Google Earth in 64-bit Ubuntu Linux
http://blog.brandoncurtis.com/2013/11/installing-google-earth-in-64-bit.html

The Mountains Are Calling and I Must Go. Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Oregon: A State In Review. Again, I resort to my boring ol' tactic of writing a list of unrelated incidents that you may piece together however you would like to get an idea of what my hike is like! At least this one might have photos. Only a few short days out of Ashland, we came across the place that I had been looking forward to the most on this trip: Crater Lake! One of the more memorable days on trail, to say the least. The last 15...

The police should not have the heavy weapons used by the military. It invites excessive force and its psychologically provocative to a population that already distrusts the police—by all accounts they should be seeking to do their jobs with as little force as possible, not rolling down the streets in armored personnel carriers like an occupying army. Why do the police have armored personnel careers now? 160;Thank the federal 1033 Program. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Come say, "hi". Life, it's bigger.
