Short bursts of stuff:

* This week [Ubuntu Open Week](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek) kicks off. Be there or be square – it is your chance to be a part of the Ubuntu community and learn from the masters. 🙂
* A bunch of new speaking slots are confirmed for me including LinuxTag, OSCON, Ubuntu Live and others. I will be updating the [speaking calendar](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/?page_id=703) when I get a second.
* [Hatebreed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatebreed) are stunning. I saw them in Liverpool on Saturday with Steve. We were also blown away by [The Acacia Strain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Acacia_Strain) and I picked up their album and a few t-shirts. Stunning.
* Recorded LUGRadio on Wednesday with guest presenters Chris Jones from Canonical and Matt Lee from GNU. The show is out later today. Fun show. 🙂
* New music is in the works. Emelye and I are working on two new songs and I am starting work on a number of metal songs.
* Go and look at the stunning [Little Big Planet video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Taiurn541SE). Wow!
* Matt Lee gave me a rather cool “I’m a Musician And I support Filesharing” sticker for my laptop – thanks Matt! I am on a mission to plaster my laptop in stickers. Feel free to send any spares this way.
* My Playstation 3 userid is `captfishhead`.

The Impact of One Person

The Impact of One Person

I am 35 years old and *people* never cease to surprise me. My trip home from Los Angeles today was a good example of this. It was a tortuous affair that should have been a quick hop from LA to Oakland, popping on BArt, and then getting home for a cup of tea and an...
