Lots of people I saw in Boston were asking ‘what have you been up to’ instead of the usual ’sounds like things are good from your blog’ :) I guess I’ve been a little quiet here about me, personally. So some updates:
School is generally good; the first two years ended up being very successful (low [...]
James Vasile asked me to pass along that the Software Freedom Law Center is having a reception for Software Freedom Day. Details are at his blog (which is worth subscribing too- low volume, high value when something is said.
(I’ll try to make it, but my brother will be in town, so… possibly not.)
My sister Deblois will be playing her acoustic-folk-blues-surf-rock in New York City on Friday and Saturday nights; details here or below the fold. (Some sample music here; buy here.) Krissa and I will be at both shows; let us know if you want to join us!

As usual, these come with the disclaimer that these are not direct quotes (unless I indicate them to be with quotes); as such you should not cite them as the words of the speaker, but [...]
I’ll be there. Drop me a note if you’ll be there and would like to meet up.
Not much to add to what I said last year.
