Well everyone, I finally did it. I finally built my own website from scratch to do what I wanted it to do from the get-go. So yes, many pats on the back are expected.
Also, if you’ve been subscribed for a while, I’m going to need you to cancel that subscription and go subscribe to the new blog over here, since the web addresses are different, and I won’t be posting to this blog anymore. Thanks a lot for your past interest in my ramblings, and I hope you keep up your subscription with the new site, and enjoy the redesign. See you there!
OMFG a friend send me this site this morning and now I know I’ll never get anything done ever (and that there is a god in heaven). Seriously, this beats even CuteOverload for the title of ‘blog of cuteness’! This one’s dedicated to exotic animal babies! How much cuter does it get!?
Alright…I just watched the redux on The League of Noble Peers documentary Steal This Film 2, as part of their campaign to help the three members of TPB during their current trial in Sweden, and not only did their talk about a new kind of internet connectivity and community and new ways of thinking about collaboration and community and a sort of technology/creativity-based utopia get me all geekishly excited but I just happened to stumble upon this site while looking for free packing supplies in my area (moving at the end of the month). Yea, no big deal, but cool nonetheless, until I saw the righthand menu section. “Upcoming Events”!? “Learn”!? CAN YOU SAY AWESOME!! (How about GEEKTASTIC!?) I got really excited when I saw the “Intro to Ubuntu GNU/Linux” coming up in March. Definitely going to have to attend that one. Except it’s full. Damn. Well it says there’ll be more in the future so I’m subscribin’ to ye ol’ newsletter then, see what I hear.
Oh yea, and their events are free, they’ve got an “earn a computer” program where you donate 24 hours of service to their organization and you get to adopt one of their aptly-named GeekBoxes (a Linux machine loaded with open source/free software), a computer thrift store (ooooh yeeess) and, under the ‘Free Geek Family’ section, ‘How to start a Free Geek!‘ Oh, and there’s a cluttered but kinda cool Wiki too.
Ooooh…this is going to be a long night of nerdgasms…
UPDATE: Check out the YouTube video below to see how the original Portland chapter got started. Pretty freakin’ well-spoken 13-year-old, huh?
