Our neighbors are a bunch of college youngsters. Friday morning, as I
came out my front door, the attached picture shows what their house
looked like.

Now these guys are not good about being tidy and their trash often
ends up in our yard, and hell their back garden is a forest of weeds,
some of which are over 7 foot tall and tower over our 6.2 foot wall,
so needless to say we expected much of this toilet paper to end up in
our yard. However they had cleaned most of it up by the afternoon.
Thanks guys!

As an aside, we got home late on Friday, well after dark. T and I had
decided to make the most of the sweet fall weather and enjoyed a
picnic supper on the one clean spot on park lawns by river bank --
holy crap but gulls poop a lot.

Boldly starting with a post that includes a video link and a picture, and a few other bits and pieces.  I'm always interested in new technologies, especially ones that can help my luddite friends overcome their fear of simple new (and often even old) technologies.

The the picture is of me in my DrupalCampPDX 2008 t-shirt, from a BarCamp-style conference we ran here in Portland, OR for users of the CMS (Content Management System) Drupal.  More on the event here: http://drupalpdx.org/camp08/ or even here at this prettier link

And the video is of regular South Africans dancing to a South African dance music that make me very happy:

So, brave new world, here I am!
