Anacostia Islands and Karmic Koala
Being on I-264 by 1000, I could tell the weekend was gonna be quite chill. I made awesome time into D.C. and of course ran into a bit of traffic getting into Capitol Hill, but I did manage to land a pretty nice parking spot right in front of Matt’s apartment (which is apparently unheard). We had a bit of kluski and headed on foot towards the Anacostia Islands for a bit of a hike before the park closed. Apparently we ran past the closing-time for the park (what the hell is the meaning of a 1730 closing time?) and ended up having to break out of the park, imagine that! Other than the horrible rain D.C. managed Saturday, the rest of the weekend went swell, including all the yuppies at Jimmy T’s and their incessant yapping,
From word of a friend I learned about Ubuntu’s newest release, Karmic Koala (9.10). Spent all last night downloading packages and running the upgrade, look here if you really aren’t linux-friendly, and playing around with the installation. I can honestly say its even more so aesthetically pleasing than Jaunty is, and there are little things here and there that just pin-point the detail the developers at Ubuntu really pay attention to. The boot and splash screens are really neat, but unfortunately the system boots up too quick now and you hardly get to see them 
CID Dam Neck
Greetings from CID Naval Station Dam Neck! After transferring a week ago from Norfolk I’ve finally settled in to my per diem barracks here. A tad bit different set up than Norfolk, but comfy nonetheless. The beach is only a 5 minute walk from my door, with the relatively perfect weather going on around here its just a haven for beach-bumming. This weekend they had the annual Neptune Festival which made the place stand out like Atlantic City and produced some pretty nifty sand castles (sorry about the lighting, it was pretty cloudy and later in the day).
I got a resource from my uncle regarding downloading live-shows that are free and recorded for open-public use. Since bands like Gov’t Mule, Phish, and Grateful Dead allow you to record using your own material and publish it accordingly, bt.etree.org is the prefect medium for grabbing whatever shows from whatever dates fix your fancy.
