Notes

The structure of burning man.

I wish Inkscape lib’ized more components and would use more components like libsvg. Just as we must use public open standards, we should also build more modular libraries which others can use…that would solve many issues!

Gnome has a Splash screen contest. Go artists go!

Naked Comix

People on Planet Open Clip Art are talking about naked comix. We should all get in the habit of contacting these authors/artists and encourage them to submit vectors to Open Clip Art Library I sent this artist an email.

We have to remember that many ppl. have no idea what Open Clip Art Library is at all.

Rock Star’s at Rock Star INXS

Met Quiet American

Check out Quietamerican.org’s excellent audio tracks. I met Aaron at Chris and Latrice’s wedding party last Sat. What a cool guy is this Ximm.

Happy B-day Charis!

Today would have been my sister’s 28th bday. Charis really lived too short of a life, but man, did she live a good life :) I’m reminded again how much I love my family and friends for supporting me and my family during this time.

Its strange that this coming December will be 2 years since she passed away. I can’t believe it.

Anyhow, please take a pause to think about my sister today :) I am taking a few today to think about all the goodness that lives on in the people she touched :)

Thinking about her today re-ignites the vigor in me to live more :)

Men knitting?

I’ve noticed in the mission more and more men knitting? What’s up with that?
