I saw Dave Matthews Band at the Irvine Amphitheater in Irvine last week, and it was the most phenomenal convert I’ve ever been to. Those guys really love what they do, you can just tell from how they smile and jam together. The venue was pretty large, it was a bit of a walk from the parking lot; but the acoustics were absolutely perfect. If you have a chance to see them, I say you HAVE to go. Freaking amazing.

If anyone has any experience running an installfest, I’d love to talk to you. I’m working on setting up an event to celebrate the release of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon at Chapman on Saturday, October 27th. If you’re in the area, please sign up at the Ubuntu California LoCo team wiki page.

China’s apparently started blocking RSS feeds, which does not bode well at all. I firmly believe that information needs to be freely available to all interested parties. I think that innovation breeds success and improvement, whereas ignorance leads to stagnation. Aside from Tor, there will hopefully be ways around this, such as when a Chinese clerk (totally ignorant of the Tiananmen Square Massacre) let a tribute slip through to be printed in a classified ads section.

Anyways, I better pay attention to Calculus/study for my Japanese exam in an hour. (Thank goodness for Kanatest!) And honestly, who isn’t excited for when Fake Steve Jobs comes down to LA? (October 23-25!)
