Hey Woody Guthrie -
Hey Marc Chagall -
There's far too many of you to thank you all
But i wanna talk about the gift that you gave
And i'm so happy 'bout the gift that you gave.

Thanks to Mike D'Ambrosia for installing music; thanks to the Longaneckers for being family. Thanks to Dottye for cabbage and tidiness. Thanks to Dave and Christen for rararararararrr. Thanks to Patrick for carving out functional space and being generous and kind. Thanks to Debi for crinkles around her lovely eyes. Thanks to Oso for moments of lucidity and someone to blame. Thanks to Charno for April Fools. Thanks to Nathan for texture and color. Et, et, et cetera, -era, -a.

It's true.
I've been staff here for a while, but as of August 27, i'm off the payroll. I plan to go back to school this fall.
I also plan to be around free geek plenty. I just don't plan to be paid for it. If you're a french speaker, please do try to help me. It's been ten years.

I am also the Secretary of the interim board. I'm helping with the bylaws. I teach build. I teach adoption. I've been somewhat slack maintaining the website; luckily there's help, lately. I'm typing this on a FreekBox. I firmly believe FreekBoxen, as distributed, are perfectly good workhorse computers for people who want to do web browsing, email and word processing. I'm the staff contact for free geek olympia. I have cHiCkEnS! Barley grows on my arm, hops in my backyard. Speak nonsense with me.

Rose:  You made me look ridiculous in there.
Guil:  I looked just as ridiculous as you did.
Rose:  (an anguished cry)  Consistency is all I ask!
Guil:  (low, wry rhetoric) Give us this day our daily mask.
