Ubuntu for a month
I’m glad I made a post about the programs I use after a recent reformat (a biannual thing for Windows users), as it gave me a good view of the stuff that’s necessary for me to function, and to determine which ones I’d have to find an open source alternative for. It’s not that easy.…

Opening a bottle with another bottle. The latest thing. Not.
From Youtube: How to open a bottle of beer the Scandinavian way Dang. I’ve been opening bottles that way since HS (and yes, that was a long time ago). Maybe I should make a vid of me opening one with a lighter, and the ‘FPJ’ method, where you slam the cap off the side of…

Dani California Vid and what little I know of Rock
Ex-boss Boss Ruby (who’ll forever be called ‘boss’ till the day I die) was kind enough to correct me on my Beatle’s “Rain” post, where I mentioned Paul McCartney was ‘years away’ from the ‘Eagles’ when it should’ve been ‘Wings’.

Songs that make you weep
I just uploaded my Strawberry Switchblade Video On Youtube, singing one of their most famous hits “Since Yesterday”. Strawberry Switchblade is a UK two-girl band that started in the early 80’s, and whose songs reverberated all the way throughout high school and college in the 90’s. I have two of their albums in vinyl (hopefully…
