  • Road Trip!

    ( I’m shouting in my titles again, sorry. ) I psyched! A group of my brothers and I are headed to a Christian Men’s Conference called Iron Sharpens Iron in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Saturday. There is a lot of cool stuff that can come from getting some friends together and heading off to a…

  • 12 Step Program for Ubuntu Update-Manager Addicts
