here's a neat tidbit:
last week we traveled to see the parents in texas
took hwy 287 instead of the interstates
had to make a stop at a big new rest area
still under construction
look inside the new wing and there i see
a tech center with separate stations for
weather, email, info, browsing (probably restricted/censored)
but best of all I look at the huge
3'x5' projection screen and see words spammed across it repeatedly:
"/var/run... read only filesystem"
before i walked on and opined on his video settings
and saw a tech draped in cat5 and tweaking...
the rest of the drive was nice as well.
unix/linux/bsd in texas? works for me!
=====
O sweet spontaneous earth how often have
the doting fingers of prurient philosophers pinched
and poked thee, has the naughty thumb of science prodded thy beauty.
how often have religions taken thee upon their scraggy knees
squeezing and buffeting thee that thou mightest concieve gods
(but true to the incomparable couch of death thy rhythmic lover
thou answerest them only with spring)  - e. e. cummings - 1923
