Amongst a mailing list thread about Ubuntu's alpha/beta wallpaper design, there was some lamenting about how it takes too long to agree on a wallpaper. And while I admittedly know absurdly little about the inner workings of the distro and its administration, I found the following comment quite funny:
"I do agree that it takes waay [...]

Cropped from a photo I took at a community centre we're renovating. I know it's a place for learning or at least not causing trouble.. but jeez, you've just taken away 80% of the fun!
Besides, the bench can't be all that bad can it? I'd be willing to risk it.

Who said YouTube comments can't be inspiring, uplifting and deep?
A recent comment on one of my early Inkscape screencasts that I posted to YouTube back in the day:

While I don't generally regurgitate YouTube links here, there comes a point after a good 7 minutes of pseudo-painful laughter (you know that silent gut-hurting laughter) that I feel like I have to share it.

In the name of all that is good, can we just ban plastic-bodied pencil sharpeners? Please?
My daughter loves to draw. I have purchased several little sketchbooks and a multitude of pencils and pencil crayons to help feed her creative wants. Of course she also has the obligatory pencil case and a wide assortment of little [...]

Now I'm no Microsoft fan. I don't really think too much of Vista mostly because I feel strongly that Linux is the way forward. Technically, there is something [...]

My internet connectivity has been down for a little over a week now (crossing fingers that it gets fixed sometime today). As a result, I've had a little more "free" time on my hands lately. I've been thinking about drawing a comic for quite some time, but never seemed to find the time until now.

Anyone who's watched enough Trailer Park Boys may feel this recent CBC news headline produces a hefty feeling of deja vu.
Hint: Ricky's father was once a trucker..

Browsing through the Flickr Group of You Look Nice Today (a podcast I'm a recently quite fond of), I came across a Geekiest photo pool.
If you are in need of a good and hearty laugh today, just browse that pool of photos. Especially this one posted by Chris Pirillo. Check out his dad's 'fro. It [...]
