I drove downtown to do four things: pick up my Bar prep materials, sell some old textbooks, pick up my cap & gown, and go shopping.

Well Bar/Bri was happy to give me my bar prep materials but they don't have flash cards for Corporations.  The exam is in less than 24 hours and I need to do some serious cramming.  Still, I lugged home around 30 lbs of books.  I am going to make love to these books for the next two months.

My wife graduated from pharmacy school yesterday.  It was a great graduation ceremony.  I took a bunch of pictures, most of which came out terrible.  But I'll post them online anyway.

Now she and her parents are over at my mom's house having a celebration while I grind away at Con Law reading.  Bleh.

Do you have a fancy mouse with more than 3 buttons? No? Didn't think so. Stop reading.

My graduation is on the 20th.  Because Hastings hates spending money on students, they're renting a hall that's too small and they're rationing tickets.  I still have two tickets left if anyone wants in on that sweet, sweet action.

Speak up now, or I'm giving my tickets to a needy classmate.

Dell is going to start selling computers with Linux instead of Windows. Here's the announcement. I'll try not to jump on the couches with excitement.

Earlier this year Dell did a poll asking what customers want. Turns out they want Linux. Having Dell sell Linux boxes will make a big difference in helping Linux gain acceptance among regular consumers. They haven't actually announced Linux models yet, but they do have instructions on how to install Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. Toshiba is also considering selling Linux boxes. Meanwhile, a Microsoft employee blogs about running Linux at home.

Is this going to be the Year of Linux?
