About Me

"You cannot add more days to your life, but you can add more life to your days."
Originally from Minnesota, moved to Alaska when I was 10, lived there until I was 17, then lived in Germany for a year. Moved to Michigan, was a working student, attended MSU, bought a house, got married, and lived there for almost 11 years. In December of 2007, I packed up a little bit of stuff, threw it in a bag, and flew to Alaska to take care of a very dear friend of mine who had been diagnosed with late stage cancer. I am now up in Alaska, probably for a year or so. Who knows what will come next. Austin, Texas? Seattle, Washington? Vermont? Virginia? Germany? The world is my oyster. One thing I can say with a fair amount of certainty: I will most likely not stayin Alaska, move back to Michigan, or move back to Minnesota. It's time for something new. One chapter of my life has closed, it's time for another.

diving into linux

So, about a month ago, I decided that I would attempt to procure some software through a less than legal means.  And apparently, I am not savvy enough to do that without infecting my computer.  =(  Of...
