But this picture will last forever:

Just got back from Yosemite with Lisa last night.  Here are the pics of the trip:  Yosemite Pics

Here is a teaser:

I just got back from a few summer trips.  First off I was in Winnipeg and participated in the Manitoba Marathon with family (10K Walk).

Then I went to the CSGF Fellows conference in DC.  After which, Lisa and I went to visit my parents in Florida.  It was pretty good – set up a new computer, got my Dad set up with MLB.tv and then hit the beach for a day.  I had forgotten how much I like the beach.    The whole trip the G1 Android did well.  Loves Android.

Anyway, here are some pics:

Why haven’t I updated here lately?  Well, it is mainly because I have been spending most of my spare time working on the new Linux User Group in Berkeley: BerkeleyLUG.  I have been writing my Linux oriented blogs over there, with the benefit that I am no longer boring my family and non-linux related friends.  Due to the high traffic some of those post have received, it was also important to move them off of my home server.

Not a whole lot has been going on lately in my life.  I haven’t gone dancing in awhile, but plan to start again next week for the summer.   My plans for doing a marathon in Winnipeg on Fathers have slowly evolved to doing only a 2 mile “Super Run.”  Hopefully by the end of the summer, I will be up at half marathon level again.

I won second place in the CSGF essay contest, with my essay “Saving the World One Atom at a Time.”  I will link to the article when it is published in a couple weeks.  I plan to use the money I won to buy an Android phone as soon as the new models come out.

Went fruit picking with Lisa today.  We got apricots, cherries and berries.

Hope everyone is well. 

Friday I wrote a post over at www.berkeylug.com about linux market share.  I submitted it to Digg and a couple other sites.  About 12 hours later it hit the front page.  I got over 1200 diggs and over 10,000 visitors to the page in less than 24 hours.  Pretty crazy how Digg works.  Here is my bandwidth usage for my hosting account:

Afterwards, I tried to register berkeleylug.org and found that every extension had been registered… Great.  Traffic comes with a price I guess.
