    As NetBSD has changed its logo, and FreeBSD announced a contest to change theirs. Are there mow separate "Logos" and "Mascots"? Can a portrait of Kirk McKusick be put on a flag?

    Of course there is also a Blowfish and a Firefly.

    Like this bunch has enough patience to stick out even one of those kiddie plastic canvas projects. 700+ hours of hand stitching over five months. And the guy didn't even do it himself, that I would be impressed about it. He got his Mom to do it.

    I have to suppress the urge to throttle people when co-workers think they are being cute with "Nice hat you got there, would be swell to have a new sweater. By the way, I wear a size Large." They complain about paying $25 for something at Wart-Maul but think I'll be thrilled at the suggestion I take six months to spin and knit a one-of-a-kind custom garment for them?

    Over time, I dare say that most windows users will waste 250+ hours rebooting Windows and dealing with spyware.

    Not quite an homage, but quite a sacrifice!
