I’m going to the first quarterly Blogger Blood Drive today.  If you’re in the SLC or Utah County area, I hope you’ll join me.  If not, I hope you’ll consider starting one in your own area for next quarter.

Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

I’ve blogged before about why I think America is in trouble.  A Ron Paul presidency would have gone along way toward fixing some of those problem (or at least prevent them from worsening), so I was sad to see that he clearly wasn’t going to win.  I’m amazed, however, how his candidacy brought these important [...]

UtahInventor Wants You

Friday, May 25th, 2007

I don’t really consider myself an inventor per se, but I was impressed by the Utah Inventors‘ inaugural meeting I mentioned earlier and have been wanting to report on it ever since.

Be an UVLUG Leader!

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

I’m a co-founder and trustee of UVLUG, a local Linux User Group that will be holding elections soon. If you’re a UVSC student or are a member of the local Linux community here in Utah, you really should read this announcement and consider helping out. LUG leadership has been a great opportunity for me. I’ve [...]

SSS is a Hit!

Saturday, January 7th, 2006

A few days ago, Dave posted about Software for Starving Students on Digg, and the downloads started coming immediately. With well over 20,000 downloads the last time I checked (a couple of days ago), the project has become a major success. We’ve transferred over 11 terabytes of data and our seeders have held up fine, [...]
