Liberation

I am now running Ubuntu Linux 11.04 on some higher end hardware and it is amazingly stable. Endless security patches and proprietary software of all kinds are receding quickly in my rear view mirror. Axé.
Out of the Cradle, Endlessly Rocking VII
04/08/2011
[The mockingbird sings:] Soothe! soothe! soothe! Close on its wave soothes the wave behind, And again another behind embracing and lapping, every one close, But my love soothes not me, not me. Low hangs the moon, it rose late, It is lagging–I think it is heavy with love, with love. O madly the sea pushes … More Out of the Cradle, Endlessly Rocking VII
Your Home in Houston
03/08/2011
I do not always stay at the Modern Bed and Breakfast when I come to Houston because I am an economical eminence, but I really do recommend it and I would stay there all the time if I could. Places I have reached by pleasant stroll from the Modern Bed and Breakfast include but are … More Your Home in Houston
Louisiana
02/08/2011
Our state has bravado and knows how to oppress, but ultimately lacks confidence. The AAUP report details a series of discussions and exchanges of letters among LSU officials noting federal anger over van Heerden, orders that he stop speaking out in certain ways, orders that he distance himself from LSU, and so forth. (The report … More Louisiana
Analyze This

Despite its many fine qualities, in … More Analyze This

I saw Beats, Rhymes & Life: A Tribe Called Quest at the Violet Crown Theatre in Austin, Texas with which the Alamo Drafthouse cannot really compete. So far I have also experienced the Taquería Jefes, the Supermercado El Rancho which I really recommend, Mount Bonnell with its amazing views of the Colorado River, and the … More Lone Star
Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking VI
30/07/2011
Yes my brother I know, The rest might not, but I have treasur’d every note, For more than once dimly down to the beach gliding, Silent, avoiding the moonbeams, blending myself with the shadows, Recalling now the obscure shapes, the echoes, the sounds and sights after their sorts, The white arms out in the breakers … More Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking VI
False Economies
29/07/2011
No matter how well others may do it, or how much they may save thereby, I should never paint, stain, or dye anything in a house. Whenever I do, even if I do it right, I make an error that cannot be repaired by me and that will cost more to have repaired than it … More False Economies

This is a really good performance. I have seen Frederica von Stade in this role, but later. Axé.
