OSCON 2007
Posted in Technicalon Jul 26, 2007
Well, OSCON 2007, the open source conference of the year, is over, and like two previous years, I walked through the exhibit hall and attended a few of the free lectures. I thought this years even wasn’t quite as great as last years even, but still pretty good.

Stuff that happens at 4am
Posted in Adventureson Jul 24, 2007
Hiking the Y isn’t that great of a hike, but for some reason I hike it a lot. Twice in the last week. I hiked it on Friday at about 8am. It took me 28 minutes, which was less than the 30 minute goal I set for myself. I hiked it again today, reaching the Y at 3:25 am; hiking it at a more casual pace of 30 minutes. Hiking the Y in the middle of the night without a moon and without a flashlight can be kind of spooky, but I was surprised how lit up things were from the city lights from Provo down below.

Dancing Larry King
Posted in Funnyon Jul 19, 2007
My roommates were flipping through the channels and were watching a bit of CNN. Apparently they were taking questions via You-Tube, but when I walked by it was showing this movie thing of a dancing Larry King in underwear or something like that. I kind of thought it was a joke, until I heard the audio of Anderson Cooper (from the other room) seem apologetic about it.
Does anyone know what happened? Was it a prank or joke, and if so, from whom? Did CNN get hacked?

A little note
Posted in Religionon Jul 17, 2007
Last Sunday I taught Sunday School in church, and I taught about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Later that day, I got this little anonymous note which read:
Um, I was in your lesson today, and I just wanted to tell you that something you said today changed my life.
Isn’t that what gospel teaching is about? Teaching the Gospel such that it helps people better themselves?

A poetic post
Posted in Writingson Jul 16, 2007
If I were to search from coast to coast
I’d find one thing I’d like better than toast
It’s quite amazing; though I don’t mean to boast
Your friendship to me is what matters the most.
