I’ve blogged a link to a Keith Olbermann piece that called for Bush and Cheney to resign. I’ve joined a few facebook groups. I’ve emailed some friends. I signed a MoveOn petition… I still feel like I haven’t done anything terribly meaningful to advance the cause of Justice. Please talk to me about this, if you get the chance. I want to know what people are doing or hope to do locally about our maniacal President or other problems.
The cardboard box for the T60p still hasn’t reappeared, and despite Bruce’s admonition not to worry about it until Thursday, It’s been very much on my mind. I’m not sure what Bruce will have to say when I talk to him, but I’m hoping there’s something I can do to make up for the loss. Still, I’m totally baffled about the whole thing. Who would’ve moved that box from beside my desk, and why the heck would that person have done so? Le sigh.
About the CCI laptop more generally… I’m still really frustrated with the T60p that CCI is going with. I know there are lenovo thinkpads that positively shine with Ubuntu (good integrated intel graphics, wireless), and Dell has been able to throw together a fairly impressive offering with Ubuntu. Why the ATI graphics and the Atheros wireless on the T60p? It’s a real pain to have to work with closed drivers. That pain was a monumental time suck for me between last Thursday and when I turned the laptop back in on Tuesday. Ubuntu on a thinkpad shouldn’t be that painful. Seriously… how’d they manage that?
In other news, I got my bill from UNC today…. Wheeee!
